2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Shiny Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 topics related to the All Star Game to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Which of the three Montreal players would have been best addition to either of the teams?

b. Nash Topalo and Seamus O'Slapahan were only defencemen picked in top 10. Were they two best options this season? Should there have been more picked early on?

c. Which of the teams could have better top line (center and two wingers), WhiteFuzz with Johnny Wagner-Svenson - Viktor Hargreeves - Antoine Beauregard or JRuke with Erik Bergmark - Derek Martin - Aksel Fiske? Why you think they are better?

d. Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz and Sir Devoir were picked with back to back picks and thus both teams secured their started. Does either side have advantage on net? Back up goalies were picked lot later, do you think they can play role in the game at all?

e. Why should YOUR player have made the all star game, and why should you be the last man in? (If your player did make the all star game, tell us why they were picked.)

a. Of the three Montreal players to have been the best addition to either all-star team, I would have chosen Jussi Mutou as my addition. ThisSeemsFishy seems like a cool person from what I have seen so they have got my pick! They had 59 points in 66 games and was tied for 1st in points for Montreal.

b. We all know how much defense matters in FHM 8 and with how the current meta works (offense for the win), as a defensemen myself you can have high stats in checking, d-read, positioning but still get dumpstered on by the opposing players. Hodor should have been picked earlier on since he is a shot blocking machine.

c. My choice would have to go with JRuke with their top line of Erik Bergmark, Derek Martin and Aksel Fiske. I know all of these users behind the players and vibe with them more compared to the other choices so that is why they would get my vote. Also Derek Martin was my 1st round fantasy choice last season and helped secure me 2nd place in fantasy!

d. If my earlier text about defensemen not really mattering much, oh boy does it get even worse for goaltenders. We have seen numerous times how high top notch goalies can get piled on for goals in our sim engine so it is not surprising to see goalies picked back to back. During all-star games it is all about the goals and unfortunately goalies will be getting embarrassed.
