Updated All-Star Weekend Rosters

Last week, the NHL did release the rosters for the "Rookies vs. Sophomores" YoungStars Game, which brought up the final total of players, plus or minus players that will not show up. The format of the rookies and sophomores grinding it out a bit seems like a pretty entertaining way to get some competition out of these guys. The line-up for both teams looks very entertaining and full of promise. If you scroll down a little bit further, you'll find the rosters there.

The YoungStars roster also has a few names that may show up in the second Waiver Draft in a couple weeks, like Brandon Dubinsky, Milan Lucic, Blake Wheeler and Erik Ersberg. All of these players have had some pretty good seasons so far and could figure into some Draft line-ups, because of injury or poor play. The Week Seventeen Newsletter on the 26th will have the results of the scoring in accordance with the Draft teams.
