My Idea for a New, Improved NHL All Star Team Vote

[BlueBull]

Imho, the NHL All Star Team is a little Outdated. I think that 2 seperate teams of 6 should not be the case for the teams and we should have a different format.

My Idea is to format the Team like this:
#1 LW - #1 C - #1 RW
#2 LW - #2 C - #2 RW
#3 LW - #3 C - #3 RW
#4 LW - #4 C - #4 RW
Defense is a little Sketchy, either This:
#1 LHD - #1 RHD
#2 LHD - #2 RHD
#3 LHD - #3 RHD
Or This:
#1 D - #2 D
#3 D - #4 D
#5 D - #6 D
Rarely would matter much, yet it could.
Goalies are Simple:
#1 G
#2 G
Here is my Example of what 2018's might look like with this (Using the 1-6 D Format):
Taylor Hall - Connor McDavid - Claude Giroux
Alex Ovechkin - Nathan MacKinnon- Nikita Kucherov
Brad Marchand - Evgenii Malkin - Phil Kessel
Patrik Laine - Anze Kopitar - Blake Wheeler
Johnny Gaudreau (Could Swap those LWs)

Drew Doughty - Victor Hedman
John Klingberg - P.K Subban
Roman Josi - Seth Jones
Honorable Mention to Shane Gostisbehere

Pekka Rinne
Connor Hellebucyk
I think those two are better than Vasilevsky imho.

I think this looks a whole lot better then Two lines of Forwards, Defensemen and Goalies. A whole roster looks a lot better.

What do you think of this idea? For me, it looks Interesting, fun, and more fitting for a league with 31 (soon to be 32) teams.

considering that only 4 of the players you mentioned didn’t make the ASG, doesn’t change much at all really.

I believe he is talking about the end of the season all-star selections.

Leaving Pietrangelo out of the D is a huge mistake.

Yes I am.
I think it might be a bit of a mistake. However, he is more 3rd line/(if it existed on teams) 4th line.

While they're not official All Star selections, we do have the total votes for each position. So fans can see who would make the team you described.

I don't really want to change the All Star system since I like the long history it has.

Pietrangelo is easily the most underrated defenseman in the NHL. Easily in the top 6.
