Habs prospect Kaiden Guhle makes it - maybe take some sting out of not finishing the WJC (he was captain and Canada was a heavy favorite) and well as 2023 (yes 2023) draft prospect Connor Bedard. Johnson (CBJ), McTavish (ANA), Power (BUF), Guhle (MTL), all from WJC team (off the top of my head)

Plus a whole bunch of names from the last decade.

Staal, Richards, Heatley? These guys were all-stars a decade ago, lol.

Schneider's goal was a nice one  
Greg from LI : 1/14/2022 11:11 am : link
A quick wrister from the slot, beat him glove side. Looked good overall in his debut.

Tristan Jarry over Shesterkin on the All Star team is a joke.

they say the rumors were not true.

Also the Habs lost to the Coyotes.

Habs currently last by 3 pts.

such a strong top 5 this year (maybe more). Looks like a strong class.

There's your 2C. Plus he's under contract for next year too.

two picks that turned into Lundkvist & Henriksson.

That trade is one reason I'm not exactly bullish on Gorton as Habs GM. Even at the time it raised eyebrows not just second guessing.

is a massive snub.

I think one player per team representative is stupid in hockey.

hopefully they get rid of that rule eventually.
Also Friedman says the Rangers might be a dark horse for Chychrun  
Greg from LI : 1/19/2022 4:37 pm : link
Which is interesting.
I do think it's cool  
pjcas18 : 1/19/2022 7:37 pm : link
that there are 30 all-stars who are 1st or 2nd time all-stars, but many of them wouldn't be all-stars if there was no rule about at least one representative per team.

and how is this just Patrice Bergeron's 3rd all-star appearance?

But Claude Giroux's 7th?

As much as I hate the Bruins, Bergeron is criminally underrated.

He's a sure fire hall-of-famer IMO, but can't make an all-star team.

Jake Allen  
pjcas18 : 1/21/2022 1:55 pm : link
out 8 weeks, there goes trade deadline deal (if there was gong to be one) for him.

- Eichel not close to returning. 1-2 months away.
- Oilers have now lost 7 in a row.

Best 1-2 combo in the league with McDavid/Draisaitl and can't win.

How much longer until McDavid demands a trade?

another interesting name  
pjcas18 : 1/24/2022 1:05 pm : link
hitting the trade block (rumored) is:

Pierre Luc-Dubois.

Still just 23 years old and would be on his 3rd team, so that raises obvious questions, but the talent and production does not raise questions.

RFA after the season.

I'd make him a C or W. Not ideal at C (faceoffs) but good enough IMO.
Why is Luc-Dubois on the block?

Not sure  
pjcas18 : 1/24/2022 1:16 pm : link
could just be speculation, but the Jets are very mediocre and he's an RFA and unlike most teams the Jets have a bunch of center options.

I doubt he gets moved, but I'd absolutely explore it.
Seems like the Canada Olympic Roster has

leaked, but allegedly this one is real. The Athletic has confirmed a bunch of the names. Also, Kent Johnson (#5 pick from last draft) is an alternate.

I liked the other one better with the 40+ year old players and 50 year old goalie, lol.
