They need to shore up that defense first.

And they've got 3-4 coming in the near future. Until those guys make it and show they can play they wont be turning any corners

Jiricek by himself is going to be a big addition for them next season.

Hamlin's breathing tube removed. I'm thinking he should be good to go by Sundee

With Tage being an all star, do all of Dahlin, Tuch and Skinner deserve it to?

I would say Cozens too, but I'm a homer.

I've heard mixed reviews on him. It seems the concern is that he might fall into the category of "all tools, questionable game" category that seem to plague so many in the top 10 (Bogo, Nurse, Risto, etc).

He's been tremendous this season for their AHL team, and the World Juniors.

It's Nemec who's been questionable so far this season.

Would be awesome if management went out and got a Dman. Even if they want to keep Power with Joker/Clauge.

Just get Bryson and Fitz off my lawn and get some help to alleviate the pressure of the big 3

I expect just Dahlin. Might be a struggle getting 2 spots, but it's hard to deny him.

This team has the same amount of deserving allstars that Tonto and Tampa have.

Don't @ me.

But Dahlin would be my next.

Both of em need to go. Bryson more so IMO. He only hurts this team.

Seeing Bryson out with the Mitts line gives me chest pains

Ah, thank you - I think I did get them confused as I did have it backwards on draft day.

Of course the NHL's remedial voting mechanism doesn't work. I mean for (frank)'s sake can they do anything simple without totally (frank)ing it up?
- lacaprup


They need to stop the fan voting. Pick the most deserving guys.

Or don't have the event. Its become such a joke in every league

They're simply venues for players to have fun and showcase the game in a warm weather spot.

The baseball allstar game and NBA all star game are the only ones that ever meant anything to the respective fan bases. I don't think either means a thing any more.

They may bench him but I'll bet my car he doesn't hit waivers this season.

Basketball can't even get any prolific players to do a dunk contest anymore cause they don't want to f-up. Its ridiculous imo.

I get if you don't wanna be apart of the whole weekend ordeal anymore and you just wanna spend time with the Fam or whatever cause your a vet. But if you're an allstar fvckin show up and show out.

in the 1980s the NBA allstar game was a national event

Up until the late years of Kobe it was a phenomenal event. Now has become another circus like all the others.
