Detroit Red Wings
All-Star: Dylan Larkin
Snub: Moritz Seider
Dylan Larkin is having a great season, but young defenseman Dylan Larkin has been the start of this team all year. Seider has been a top defenseman all year now putting up 24 points in 38 games and averaging 22:25 minutes a night despite this being his first year in the league. This game really is supposed to be able marketing the stars of the game and Seider should definitely be one of them in the event.
Florida Panthers
All-Star: Jonathan Huberdeau
Snub: Sam Reinhart
Reinhart is having a great season and it would have been cool to see him in the all-star game after spending so much time in Buffalo struggling. The Panthers have a lot of guys that deserve to be in this game like Ekblad and Barkov it will be interesting to see if they can win the last man in vote and get some respect for their team.
Montreal Canadiens
All-Star: Nick Suzuki
Snub: The Roster Spot
Similar to Buffalo, the Canadiens have not been great this year. Their best player has been Nick Suzuki who has 19 points in 36 games, but that is not that impressive. When the format was bigger and more players got to go to the game I understand having at least one player from each team, but with the three on three set up having a player from one of the bottom teams in the league who isn’t having a crazy year just doesn’t seem right. The Panthers, Lightning, Bruins, or Maple Leafs could have had two or three more guys go if it wasn’t for every team getting a spot at the game.
