One NHL All-Star Game Snub From Every NHL Team
By Jim Lynch
Seattle Kraken
All-Star Jordan Eberle
Snub: The Roster Spot
The Kraken are not very good this season and I guess Jordan Eberle would be a fair pick for the team considering he leads the team in points. However, if you want to have this be a real all-star game where the best players of the season are facing off then his spot probably should have gone to someone else in the league.
That being said if there is another player on this team that could have deserved it, that would be Jared McCann who leads the team with 15 goals.
Vancouver Canucks
All-Star: Thatcher Demko
Snub: Quinn Hughes
Thatcher Demko is the representative for the Vancouver Canucks this year at the all-star game. Just because it is called the all-star game I think I would have preferred defenseman Quinn Hughes who would have been fun to watch face off against his brother and other defensemen like Cale Makar.
Vegas Golden Knights
All-Star: Mark Stone and Alex Pietrangelo
Snub: Chandler Stephenson
Chandler Stephenson has been the one leading the Golden Knights while Stone missed time this year with injuries and so did Max Pacioretty. The Golden Knights are in a good position because of the work of a guy like Chandler Stephenson.
Yet he doesn’t even find himself on the list to get voted in as that goes to Jonathan Marchessault. The Golden Knights are victims of there not being enough spots as all of those guys could be in the game.
