ATTENTION GRADER: 7 TPE TOTAL HAS BEEN EARNED.


9. The “spread of spots” is a participation trophy. In an all star game, I want to see the games best. I do not want to see any player from the Montreal Patriotes 3 win season the other year for instance. Being an all star does not mean being the best player on your team, you are the top of the league. In Atlanta for example, Phillipe Eko Eel made yet another appearance at the Allstar game; him being the only one who is deserving of such. How do you have an all star game without Prpich, Martin and Piastri, all of whom are in the top 10 for goals? Sure they are on the same team, but that is why they are in the top 4 year after year; they have all star caliber players. To me, Piastri being snubbed is the ultimate middle finger to meritocracy. There should perhaps be a council who anonymously decide on the top 3 goalies, 6 defensemen, and 12 forwards were conference. There may be some differentials, like if a rookie is putting up ridiculous numbers and is tied with another player for points or performance, perhaps he/she would get an edge, but if we have 5 panthers in the all star game, it is what it is.

2. With that being said, 4 skaters from Los Angeles made the all start game, as a result they should not be kept together for ultimate chemistry. They should be placed with other all stars to see if they are actually good or just good teammates. I think maybe Derek Martin gets carried a little bit by Piastri to be honest. I think it would be cool to see players blend with eachother and maybe we’d see some trade opportunities arise from beautiful chemistry. (50 word, 1 TPE)
