It is contracted. According to the rules agreed to by all the stakeholders in the business of the NHL, All Star bonus money is absolutely deserved by those who qualify.

If you feel that NHL players make too much money, then the simple solution is for you to spend less on their product, but that is besides the point, which is this: the players who participate in the All Star Game are receiving payment for doing their job. It is quite practical to view the All Star bonus as received compensation for providing entertainment and promotion of the game at an event that is designed to generate revenue and corporate sponsorship. This is NOT a job for John Scott and his ilk, which is why he will not be participating.
