The same reason any event in the world has trouble getting major acts. It's not hard to book them but it's one of the largest costs when putting together an event. You need to be drawing huge profits to justify even decent acts and weekend all star event isn't doing that.
Have you ever seen those lists of what acts charge for performances? They typically release the has beens and mediocre acts around the internet and the A list acts are often multiples of three to four times higher than the $200k-$600k acts.
The NHL isn't going to be spending $1mil+ for a couple songs during the intermission, lol.
