Well there are more deserving "all stars" not going to the game

so its certainly debatable
- flashfire

I would have picked Gio over Karlsson but as you said it can and always will be debated as far as all stars go

I would never partake in a pool where three stars are a factor...guy probably knows what rinks are the most homerish

Unfortunatly we do not live in a world where logic always prevails. I hope your okay with me posting that on my league wall.

Go for it....worst case I’ll have people making mean faces to me through thier pc screen or phone....I think I’ll be ok

Point is not an all star

I mean...anyone with over 50 points at this stage of the season is a top end player. Going to the allstar game isn't a legitimate ranking

At the same time though how many Oilers fans are gonna say Mony is an all star? Not many I know....Has more points than Drai

I will admit Drai is a top end player

They are tied after tonight’s game but I get the argument for wanting Mony or Point....I don’t think Marner is an all star either and he is having a great year.....lots of guys you could make an argument for

All it is, is a popularity contest, aimmed at advertising dollars,"showcasing the talent" and "for the kids,or fans" will be the term they use. But that is all it is. Not based on skill or merit, but who is a bigger name, not talent. Look at Calgary, they could complain about snubs as well.

If it weren't for San Jose hosting, I'm sure we can all agree that Giordano (replace Karlsson), Monahan (replace Pavelski) AND Draisaitl (last man) should be there outta this division. Keeps two of the most dangerous 3-on-3 duos in the league with built-in chemistry together and brings only the most productive players.

Game Plan

1. Hope McDavid is McDavid
2. Play the bottom 3 defenders as little as possible
3. Hope the goalie of the day doesn't poop his pants.
4. Profit?

All valid points, but I personally would not be upset to pay Manning 8.5M to sit in the pressbox if Klefbom and Sekera were out on the ice.

Didn't Cagiula sit out quite a lot too?

Is Talbot back as the number 1?

8.5m

For all the doom n gloom the Oil are only 3 points out of a wildcard spot.

You don’t think that a team out there has a good assistant GM who is ready to be a GM? I’m not an expert on front offices on the NHL but I’m willing to bet if Katz did a proper search instead of hiring ex Oilers he would find someone who can run the Oilers better then that idiot MacT or that other idiot Chiarelli

I will add:

5. Continue selling the McDavid brand hard...
6. Refuse to implement any accountability in the upper offices of the Org...
7. Have a Bobby Nic Burger
8. Review the top 5 prospects for this year
9. Hope Talbot resigns for $5 mill per...
10. Remain chuckling how you held your city ransom for a sports team
11. Profit

Mony is money... Would love him on my team...

The Blackhawks have, arguably, the worst 1-6 defense group in the entire NHL. Brandon Manning was a healthy scratch for that team.....Caggiula is nothing from what I’ve seen so far, but thankful to never see Manning in a Hawks uniform again!

Bowman and Chiarelli continue to battle for the title of Worst NHL
GM!
- EnzoD

Bowman is fading fast... Tough to see- but becoming more evident he was not the architect after all... Like Chia they coasted on work done before their tenures

There was some nashville nut i remember who I had a lengthy disagreement with because just over a year ago he said Drai would be nothing more than an average second line center and I about shat my pants

Draisaitl is officially an all-star.

That’s only because the other teams don’t want the 2nd WC spot .....Oilers had a long losing streak and the Ducks are currently on one too....Wild have been up and down as have the Nucks....strange season

About damn time.

I might have to watch the game now to see that 3 on 3.

I’m actually surprised but him and McDavid playing together will be fun to watch....I wouldn’t have complained if Mony got the spot either

It should be pretty damn entertaining.

Those two with one of Karlsson, Burns or Doughty
