Milestones are folded in with All-Star Week.

Link your Milestone claim as task 1 for up to 3 TPE towards your 8 total.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your ASW submission. This is done because the person who grades ASW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

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.

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?

b. Nash Topalo may be the more well rounded choice for a regular season game. However, when it comes to the All Star Game, Seamus O'Slapahan has more offensive upside. Offense is a high commodity in the ASG and defense isn't really much of a factor. That isn't to say Seamus isn't good in his own end though.

c. WhiteFuzz clearly has the better top line, if not only for having Antoine Beauregard on it. He is a dynamic and speedy power forward who can snipe the puck like the best of them. Having center Viktor Hargreeves, was the leagues MVP this season, doesn't hurt either. You can't forget Johnny Wagner-Svenson either who was the Barracuda's MVP.

Which of the current players, who were still active during the season 76 has achieved enough that they should make it to the Hall of Fame? Are they already unquestionable first ballot Hall of Famer? Are they still close enough to their prime to make their case better or are they already so far in their career that realistically they are just working on their total career numbers at this point?

The most likely active player to get into the Hall of Fame is Ivan Lacksamus. Ivan has had a tremendous career with the New England Wolfpack over the past eleven seasons. In just 726 career games, he already has over 1,000 points. He has over 400 goals in that time span as well with consecutive 50 goal seasons. He isn't just all offense either, at the center position he has a ton of defensive responsibility. Over his career his faceoff percentage is an astounding 56.4%, as well as racking up over 500 blocks and 800 hits. His trophy case is already packed with several awards as well. He has won 2 Ron Mexico Awards, for being the league MVP as well as 2 Sarmad Khan Awards for the player voted MVP. He also has 2 Sergei Karpotsov Awards for the most points in a season. He even has 3 Jeff Darr Award nominations for the best two way forward. All of this and you add in 2 Challenge Cups and you have a for sure lock first ballot hall of fame player.
