Anyone who was in drafting pool, but was not selected for All-Star game will take part in skill competition instead (and don’t really know what how that will end up looking like). But all of those players got close but ultimately were passed on by GMs making the picks. But what they got wrong? Who from skill competition should have been in All-star game and who would you replace to make room for them?

I was saddened to see that Damien Hirano didn't get selected to play in the All Star Game. The longest tenured player on the Montreal Patriotes had endured a long time playing with a turgid roster that was seriously devoid of talent, and in the first season when he was given some capable support in the form of newly called up rookies, he showed his class. Leading the team in goals and being tied for the lead in points shows his real ability, and speaks to what we are likely to see from him in the seasons to come. Selection in the All Star Game was something he deserved completely, and while he will still be able to participate in the skills competition, it is doesn't go far enough in recognising his success this season. All I can hope is that Hirano continues to improve his numbers and delivers an even better return next season, making him impossible to ignore when it comes time to drafting All Star teams.
