Quoting: DFinn91
What it will cost to acquire an all star center with retention.
So, there’s a couple different kinds of all stars.
You’ll see phrases like, “first team all-star,” or, “second team all star.” That matters. Very elite list.
Then there is the all-star game. There’s fan voting. Each team has to have a representative. John Scott was an all-star by that definition. That means nothing. For example, look at tampa. This year, three of the following players won’t be, “all-stars:” hedman, kucherov, point, vasy, stamkos…all because someone from buffalo has to be on the team.
Go back and take a look at what good second line centers get at the deadline. 1st and a 3rd. Not freaking Newhook, let alone Newhook and a first.
