The fact that only one Toronto Maple Leafs player can get an automatic bid into the NHL All-Star Game is a joke.
The NHL’s All-Star Game criteria is beyond backwards, and not guaranteeing anymore Toronto Maple Leafs into the game is terrible.
If you look at each division, there’s probably two players per team that shouldn’t have been named to the NHL All-Star Team. However, because the NHL decided that they need to have at least one representative from each team, they made it by default.
In the grand scheme of things, the NHL All-Star Game doesn’t mean anything.
