1. Milestone +3

9. Well, you all do want to represent the whole league with these events, right? Having an all-star team be limited to players from a couple of teams does not do a good job of representing that besides maybe representing how uncompetitive things are. Think about it this way - during the pandemic, some major teams from the European Champions League decided to pull a trick on the rest of the continent by forming their own "super league" with "the best teams" with a very undemocratic system that was essentially a circlejerk. Now sure, an All-Star Game bit is hardly something akin to the Champions League but the mindset is not too far off.

Forcing rosters to be built off of the best statistical players of the league is probably going to open a couple of can of worms that I do not imagine certain people would want to welcome. I think it is fine for every team to have at least one player in this and deriding them with comments about "not fitting" is quite the prick move. Like... way to make it uninteresting for folks from those teams to stick around, lads. Brilliant stuff, really. The next step is suggesting teams get demoted to the juniors, I presume?

13. Well, from what I can gather, I am in the run for the Most Improved Player Award. I do not know if they made much of a change to how their teams played but I believe Sunrise was indeed a key figure in helping Calgary improve as well as himself so I think I do deserve it. I'm proud of being in the discussion at any rate.
