Predict the Atlantic all stars

[VoluntaryDom]

Who will the Atlantic division all stars be? To me there’s been too many really good forwards to decide. Trying to put options of guys who would be popular all star picks.

I personally didn’t choose a Red Wing because it would mean one of Kucherov or Marner wouldn’t be an all star which I couldn’t justify.

 

[Agalloch]

Need at least one player per team.


Nikita Kucherov (TB)
Auston Matthews (TOR)
Jeff Skinner (BUF)
Max Domi (MTL)
Aleksander Barkov (FLA)
Dylan Larkin (DET)

Thomas Chabot (OTT)
Morgan Rielly (TOR)
Victor Hedman (TB)

Frederik Andersen (TOR)
Jaroslav Halak (BOS)

Doesnt each team have to be represented?

Yeah, I bent the rules. It’s a fun thread.

Can they just send all leafs players? Leafs fans get their fill and we dont have to worry about one of our players getting hurt over a dumb game. Win/Win

It's hard to pick the player who palys with zero talent and does everything by himself. Unlike players like Kucherov & Marner who has ton of talent to play with.

Larkin is a superstar if he had any better linemates, that's for sure.

Idk. Red Wings have some pretty good forwards honestly. Just their defense sucks rocks and they don’t have a good 2c.

Clearly a comparable forward group to the Leafs and Bolts?

No but let’s not act like he’s carrying complete scrubs

Imaginary game would be fun where we put either one Kucherov or Marner to Larkins spot and give Larkin a spot in these offensive minded rosters.

That would be fun. Im sure Larkin would look good.

I would bet money that Larkin would not produce as much as either of them

see how brainless argument that was?

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

Whatever way you slice it, there's 4 or 5 legitimate guys that get left off.

 

[sufferer]

Matthews, Eichel, Pastrnak, Barkov, Larkin, Domi
Hedman, Rielly, Chabot
Andersen, Vasilevskiy

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Matthews, Eichel, Pastrnak, Barkov, Larkin, Domi
Hedman, Rielly, Chabot
Andersen, Vasilevskiy

Seriously none of Point Kucherov and McDonagh make it and the guys who do are a dman off to a slow start by his standards and an injured goalie?

The offensive gap between Kucherov and Larkin is so large that context cannot fully explain it.

 

[jetsforever]

Kucherov, Matthews, Pastrnak, Eichel, Domi, Larkin, Chabot, Rielly, Hedman, Andersen, Luongo

 

[POVERTY]

I'd put Marner in over Matthews, but since it's more a spectacle than anything I could see Matthews going.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Kucherov, Matthews, Pastrnak, Eichel, Domi, Larkin, Chabot, Rielly, Hedman, Andersen, Luongo

Luongo?

TB had to make the sacrifice. Hedman and Vasi are both elite and have name recognition despite their starts so they can go. Put Point/Kuch on the team then we see the likes of Price/Weber, Halak and Luongo. No thanks.

 

[TheMule93]

Kucherov (TB)
Marner (TOR)
Pastrnak (BOS)
Eichel (BUF)
Domi (MTL)
Larkin (DET)

Chabot (OTT)
Reiley (TOR)
Hedman (TB)

Anderson (TOR)
Luongo (FLA)

Luongo?

How else are you gonna fit florida in? If you include Barkov you have to remove a forward. You cant remove Larkin because theres no other choice for DET, you cant remove Domi because montreal has no viable choices in other positions, you can remove Eichel but then you have to put in Dahlin or Risto which would mean removing a defenseman. In this case you couldnt remove Chabot because OTT has no other choices. You oculd remove Reiley but that thats a tough sell. Maybe removing Hedman would make sense but idk. ​
