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.)

b. I think they were definitely the best options this season I mean Nash Topalo is the best defenseman ever have you seen that guy he is an absolute dog on the ice he really goes out there and chews up the competition. Seamus is pretty good too I guess but I don't have a dog in that race.
e. Steve Harrington should have made the all-star game because if the voters were actually fans like NHL I think he would get a lot of votes for being really old in sort of a meme pick. The buffalo fanbase would be very strong with all their success and they would probably be able to vote in some players that aren't necessarily that good anymore.

The league has multiple awards, yet there is always room for improvement. What award would you add? Why that award and who it would be named after? Or which of the current awards would you change? How would you change it and why?

I would add the Sad Ketchup award for worst plus minus of the season. Having the worst plus minus has to be really sad and there is nobody more sad than Tylar. I don't know if he would have ever won the award but if you ask him he probably has won it dozens of times because his player is always shit in his mind. An award for least amount of points or ice time would be similar but would probably go to somebody IA or really ruin someones day but worst plus minus is kind of a team stat so at least you got something to show for being on a shit team with a sad player that can't stop the inevitable scoring imbalance. This season's winner would be Emil Karlsson with a blinding -90 on the ice because Montreal is deep in the dungeon of rebuilding and there's no hope for an award there unless the Sad Ketchup award gets made.

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?

Obviously I'm gonna say that Steve Harrington should be in the Hall of Fame. Unquestionable first ballot is maybe not so cut and dry, as Harrington never did actually win any individual awards. The rest of the case is very solid though, with two cups, 3x All-SHL, ron Mexico and jesster noms, 2nd in points all-time among other stats close to the top. According to the SHL75 that luke put together Harrington is #45 on the list which should be a slam dunk as there are a lot more than 45 players currently in the hall. No more awards will be coming at this stage in his career, but Harrington is still hanging on to maybe set those records that he is getting close to. I think it would be tough to argue against first ballot for the all time points leader but we are still probably 5 seasons away from Harrington reaching that mark if he gets there.
