On Tuesday morning, the NHL announced the official list of players who will be taking part in this year's All-Star Game in Carolina and everyone who is playing in the main game was drafted this year or taken in the waiver draft, so there are no blanks to speak of.
There isn't a great deal of surprises on the list, but there might be a few omissions that are noteworthy this year, but nothing too shocking or out of the ordinary.

Leading the pack in the draft this year was Larry D., Kristy & Don and Leon G., who all have four all-stars playing in this year's game. Only two teams this year do not have all-stars, both Clayton C. and Dale C. are without.
I will likely draw up some results for the pool points, as scored in the game, so place your bets!
