As the NHL prepares to squarely step into our arena on Thursday with a draft for the All-Star Game teams, let's take a moment to recognize the all-stars from our realm of fantasy hockey.
We'll do a similar approach to how the league manages things, by forcing one selection from each of the 32 franchises to form our initial rosters. I tried to include a mix of the positions, but honestly I couldn't get a goaltender nominated for one of the divisions -- no matter how hard I tried to look the other way at some stats.
This is through a fantasy lens, so we aren't necessarily looking for the best overall player, but rather the best value.
