Subban? I'd have gone with Panarin. Some serious Canadian Bias.

Maybe it's just me but I don't really see anything to complain about.

Why Subban? lol

Tarasenko, Panarin, Kane all seem like better options

There is just no excitement around the allstar game this year. At least last year John Scott and Johnny hockey made a bit of a story line.

You can't really argue with Price, McDavid, and Crosby. All three of those players are clearly the best players in their division.

Subban is the one that is a little eye raising - he hasn't had a very good start in Nashville. Should be Tarasenko probably.

People asking "Why Subban"... because he's a character. He'll be front and center at all the events and he's entertaining as all get out. Tarasenko and Panarin aren't, and Kane is less so (as well as being somewhat controversial given his history). Plus, basically no one dislikes the Predators, and Chicago doesn't really to have its fanbase pandered to at this point.

It's still unfathomable to me that Zemgus Girgensons got in.

It's a fan vote, not a fantasy draft. What were people expecting? Nobody cares about Tarasenko or Panarin

McDavid is going to win it every year. No surprises there. Only surprising one might be Kane or Toews not winning the Central.

Nothing wrong with those choices, remember, this is the all star game, not team canada
