If I have learned anything in my time watching sports in general it is that chemistry is incredibly important to see success in the games. My go to example here is that an offensive line lacking any stars, but that has been working together for years can outperform a line made up of stars. Being able to work well together beats out individual talents and so from a success perspective I would say you absolutely would want to keep them together. However this is the All Star game which is made more for entertainment value than it is for one side trying to win I would say and in that regard I would rather see the players get spread out to see people who would not normally be able to play together get to play together on a big stage. I think that would lead to a more entertaining game for the audience at least based on my perspective as someone who has never watched a hockey All Star game, but has watched the Pro Bowl. Thank you!



Okay I am going to answer this as a Chicago homer in that I think the entirety of the Chicago Syndicate should have been selected instead of any of the players from any of the other teams because I love them dearly, but also because for the sake of this point task I am going to be an incredibly biased individual in favor of my own team. They would have also performed well because our chemistry would have absolutely lapped everyone else given we are a team.

I honestly think the fact that so many teams at least got one player into the game means that there is a solid spread and I bias aside cannot really complain about it. Also I do not know enough about hockey to really judge if there were any robberies involved. That said from what I have seen when I have looked it seems like a reasonable enough system to me and so I will tentatively support the spread as it stands.
