I rip on the NHL for missing opportunities marketing and chances to showcase their league but this draft,skills competition and the all-star game all on the same weekend is deadly.
So is not having to battle a playoff game of the 800 Gorilla. Yes this is their probowl weekend but that may be the one weak spot in the NFL's armor. Still I do wonder how much better this would be for the growth of the NHL if it were two weeks from now when the NFL season is 100% over and we can grab AND HOLD the fringe fans attention and have minimal opponents for taking it away.

I was keeping track as they went through but will need a closer look. I do like Tanger and Karlsson on the point but also that was cool to see some strategy by Chara in taking Suter to keep the chance f he and Weber being D partners.
Oh the Freddie's do have the best 1-2 chemistry punch with the Sedins

i thought it sucked...almost as bad as giving teams points for losing
Honestly just thought of this after reading your comment but who was the DEVS representative ?? I can't remeber Kovie/Parise and obviously no Mart B
Not even being a dick just saying I thought every team needed representation but off the top of my head can't recall a devil. Or JET who went for them ??

I think Chara has the better team. They did a comparison though and Alfies team has more combined goals.
HAHA and now even more purely coincidental but you avatar has Chara hoisting the cup so maybe not the most unbiased poster either lolol.
Guessing I`m doing well at being a dick for not trying but honestly I haven`t went over the full rosters I`m just saying those B2B post made me laugh.
Also for the record I`m a LEAFS,OIL,JAYS,ESKS and RAPS fan so realize I`m not trying to rock any boats here...just sayin`those posts cracked me up..................as well as the 78687 drinks I`ve had

I didn't notice that either, that's a bit strange. They have a couple of rookies in the skills competition, so I guess that counts as their team representation.

I love watching the skills competition, but the all star game is a complete waste of time. While this draft feature is a pleasant change and makes the whole weekend more fun for both the players and fans, IMO the only way to make the all star game worth watching is to go back to the pre-draft method but introduce some incentive to make both teams and coaches try their hardest to win! I like what MLB did with the winning team securing home field advantage for the world series for their league (AL/NL). A similar move would eliminate the crap that goes on in the all star games in hockey and put the focus back on watching the game's best players perform at their best.

Not a huge fan of the draft style.. why not have two captains pick a team from any player in the nhl??? you could still have a tv spectical like they want even if all the players arnt there...
