If I was going to steal Luke's money, I would plan an elaborate heist while he is recording one of his podcast. I would send in a ton of topics to keep him busy talking, and then I would drop down from the ceiling, Mission Impossible style. I would take whatever I could get, anything is more than I have!

I fully expect Texas Renegades forward Chris Valentine to make the all-star team. Valentine was a beast this season, leading the Renegades in assists with 77 and points with 113. He was all over the place, scoring when needed while also pacing the forward group each night. Because of Valentine's all-around ability to play well both offensively and defensively, I not only expect him to make the roster but I also expect him to slot right into the first line center position. I believe that Valentine is one of those players who makes everyone around them better, we have seen that in Texas and I can only imagine the same will happen with a group of all-star caliber players around him in this game. Valentine is a converted defenseman now playing the center position, so I am sure the linemates in this game will appreciate his defensive mindset to go along with his ability to find open teammates. The other reason I think that Valentine deserves to be in the all-star game is because of his leadership. As a multi-season leader in Texas, I would hope that the all-star committee could take a look at how he has led his team and how beneficial that will be when some of the younger individuals join him in this all-star game.
