Why should this matter? It doesn't change the fact that including players who have no business being included in this event precludes the participation of someone who does, and carries with it significant monetary consequences. I don't care who you are: the
$212,500 bonus that Gaudreau earned for his attendance at the All Star Game is a useful and welcome sum of money.

So what? This does not make it acceptable for including players who do not deserve to be included. Just because
some players have made this choice in the past, are we to assume that all, or even most players will choose likewise?
