I've never liked it whatsoever. I thought players and alum voting and 'drafting' would be the most fun. Imagine a Crosby and Lemieux drafted East VS. MacKinnon and Sakic West.
The fan voting is a bad idea. Unlimited ballot fan voting? Even worse. It's just a traffic driver more than it is focused on making the All-Star game the best on-ice product it can be.
Let the Captain+Alum do a live draft as we've seen. Have certain players we know are going to be drafted on live remote feeds to get their reaction and be done with it. The players don't NEED to be there for the draft.
