Near the end of December, I argued that Cory Schneider deserved to be one of the NHL stars of the month, and certainly Devil of the Month. John agreed and named him that in his December month in review.
While those statements still ring true in my opinion, there is no denying that Taylor Hall absolutely deserves to be the New Jersey Devils’ representative to the All-Star Game this season. While I think you could argue that Schneider also deserves a spot over one of the two Metropolitan goaltenders that were selected (probably Braden Holtby would make the easier argument considering that Schneider currently has a better save percentage and plays on a team that is a sieve on defense), there can be zero debate that Hall rightfully is the team’s best player and true all-star.
