Nope. Each team starts with one player for 32 t players. McDavid already is in. Vote in the other 8 players plus 4 goalies.

Voting on this reminded me of how weak Canada's goaltending is. If Skinner finds a bit of consistency he will make our Olympic team

Rock solid Talbot say hello.. lol
It should've been Hyman instead of McDavid this year. The guy deserves it.
Paralyzer
Hyman >>> Matthews
Crazy to see that McDavid is the veteran at this event now. 7 All-star appearances and he's only 26 years old lol.
We HAVE to try to get Hyman and Bouchard in IMO.

Should’ve been Bouchard, his game is perfect for the All-Star circus…lol
Fixed to Ruin
Come wit it now!
I'd rather have as many players as possible get rest for the end of the season and playoffs.
So I'm voting for all the Kings, Golden Knights and Canucks players.

Our stars will get a mental and physical break and not have to travel or do bunch of media stuff, ect.

We need to get Hyman in just to get other fans used to the idea. Hyman is going to the Olympics too

Voted 10x and will every day for Draisaitl, Hyman, Bouchard, Nurse, Eckholm, Brown, 2 Red Wings and no goalies, because goalies don’t count, they are plug and play.

Exactly this.
I don't get Oiler fans obsession with wanting our players in the ASG, especially a goalie.
Go home, get some rest, & come back refreshed for a stretch run instead of some unnecessary travel.
I want to vote them out so they don't wast time and energy at this stupid event.
Had to laugh at the video the Kraken posted showing Bjorkstrand's reaction to getting told to cancel his vacation plans because he's playing in the game. They tried to frame it as a happy reaction video similar to being told that you made a WJC team or got inducted in the Hall of Fame, but he looked like he wanted to cry instead.
The small chance of injury frightens me with this dumb event.
After Horcoff's career was essentially blown up by a shoulder injury at the all star game I've been jaded about it ever since. I have no problem with Oiler players playing in mid-season events that actually matter and taking the risk, but an NHL corporate circle jerk that everyone over the age of about 7 years old think is a joke? No thanks.

All Star Game is a good chance for the league to market it's players and stars. Plus growing up as a kid i remember i loved watching it and still do enjoy it now.
McDavid is part of the architect for the new all star format and i'm pumped for it. Everyone needs to lighten up, the risk of injury is low in an event that a lot of players don't even fully try.

They have a 5 day off rest before or after the ASG. I think players like associating with their peers at events like this and if a guy like Hyman or Bouchard get in it only can help them.
Dont be an old man yelling at a cloud!
