2024 All Star Game

[topfiverecords]

It’ll probably be Hanifin because it’s the only Flame player that the eastern biased selection committee can think of off hand.

Then he’ll get traded the day before.

Zero chance.

That actually happened with Horvat last year. He wore New York shoulder patches and played for the Pacific team.

there is not east or west or divisions this season

its a draft

besides Markstom would have at least Talbot numbers in LA...IMO

Won't be Zary. He's just an unknown rookie who doesn't lead the team in points and has cooled off in recent games.

Won't be Weegar or Hanifin. They're defensemen and those types get ignored unless they really stand out around the league and neither do.

Markstrom? He's a goalie and there are plenty of goalies who have better stats.

It comes down to Coleman or Kadri. Coleman leads the team in goals and points but isn't that name value like Kadri and doesn't have the same pedigree as Kadri. Kadri is a star, maybe not since coming to Calgary but he was a star and he's only one point back of Coleman. He'll fit in with the stars better than Coleman, at least in the eyes of the NHL front office or whomever is making these choices.

Kadri goes to the All-star weekend again. The only way he doesn't get named is if McSourpuss pulls strings because he got bested by Kadri in accuracy shooting.

Do you think it’ll be four goalies? I could see it being Ullmark, Demko, Talbot and Hellebuyck getting chosen.

If it's one player from each team, I don't think Demko gets it here (probably Quinn Hughes). Might get in through the vote, though.

The vote will probably be Draisaitl, a Canuck, and then who knows. Las Vegas or Los Angeles (or both) will only get 1 player.

Do we know for sure that each division has to have three players in the vote or is it a clear 12 players leaguewide that could get in (8 skaters and 4 goalies or whatever)?

That’s a good question; I don’t know. That’s how they did it last year.

My guess is because it's a fantasy draft, it'll be wide open. 8 skaters and 4 goalies in the vote. But I guess we'll see tomorrow.

[dino7c]

There are still 4 teams I think, seems like 8 goalies no?

8 goalies with there being 4 teams

I think he meant 4 goalies announced tomorrow (which I think will be the case).

[Samonadreau]

Weegar

[Kipper_3434]

Coleman I most deserving but it would be less embarrassing for the fans If someone like Weegar was chosen.

Well...I wouldnt be embarrassed, if anything the 'stars' on the team should be embarrassed that someone like Coleman is beating them through sheer hard work. But thats not my problem.

And frankly I'd prefer that Coleman got the break. Afterall...he is working hard.

[browna]

Kadri, probably.
It is the NHL selections and it's recognizeable and marketable players first. Matt Tkachuk and his 6 goals will be selected, for example.

To fill in the gaps or as players opt out, they'll be a second wave and maybe Coleman gets in there.

Oh I was assuming Skinner, Pickard, Campbell, and Rodrigue were givens as the other four.
