Dan Wallace: Dubnyk and Suter Join Boudreau as all Stars

They deserve it! Wish #11 would have been on the team, but this year... Not so much. He's become another Pommer

my all stars to this point would be chaalie coyle & the spurgeon genral

I say congrats to Suter & Dubs for their selections. But I am really am not that big of a fan of the 3 on 3 game for the all-star game. I think it leaves out players that should get the nod for a season that they are having, like a Panarin in Chicago, or even Staal here with the Wild. Even if they upped it to a 4 on 4, you could almost double the rosters then.

I do have something to get off my chest. I paid the annual fee just so I could see the "Rumor Chart". I just really don't understand how that chart can be taken seriously, even in the smallest bit. I know that it is going to be difficult for CF to add anything of worth to the roster this year, unless a team is willing to take salary back in the form of Pominville. But what is listed on that rumor chart for the Wild makes zero sense in any form.

David Desharnais - 10% chance, with 3 other interested teams
Dougie Hamilton - 25% chance, with 3 other interested teams
Jarome Iginla - 35% chance, with 3 other interested teams
Michal Neuvirth - 10% chance, with 3 other interested teams

Not a single player would really make the Wild any better of a team, considering you would have to trade a player(s) away and the rules for the upcoming expansion draft. Just that 2nd point is the reason (IMHO) that neither Haula or El Nino have been given contract extensions or new contracts. But with the trade rumor list, it's like they are trying to just throw the Wild name onto the list in various spots, so Wild fans would have something to get excited about. I am guessing it is like that for EVERY team in the Rumor Chart. I made the mistake once, but won't again.

Is there a rule written in fine print somewhere that guarantees the Blackhawks one outdoor game and four All-Star selections every year? Honestly, Toews has no business playing in the All-Star game this year.

that list is a joke, it's a revenue gimmick.. if fletch gets anyone it'll be the matt hendricks type, cheap 4th liner vet that improves bottom 6 for playoffs i would think.. barring a major injury he won't bring on anyone of major significance
