Tonight marks the start to All-Star weekend which will take place at the Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. Tonight's festivities will consist of the fantasy draft which will decide this year's All-Star teams. On one team, we have Zdeno Chara as the captain of the Blue team, along with Joffrey Lupul as his assistant captain.
On the other side, we have Daniel Aldfredsson and Henrik Lundqvist running the Red team. There will 19 rounds of drafting the remaining 38 All-Stars. All 12 rookie skaters will be divided into groups of six, and once one of them is picked, that team gets the rest of the five. Sounds confusing I know, but it's much easier seeing it done in-person.
With that said, hope everyone enjoys the draft tonight, and what is your predictions for the last player picked?
Follow after the jump for the full fantasy draft rules.
A coin toss will decide first pick, with Alfredsson and Chara, joined by their assistant captains, alternately
drafting the 38 remaining All-Stars through 19 rounds. Each team will consist of three goaltenders, six
defensemen and 12 forwards. To ensure that the final draft picks are true selections and not simply
predetermined due to position requirements, each team's three goalies must be picked by the end of Round
10 and each team's six defensemen must be picked by the conclusion of Round 15.
The 12 Rookies participating in the 2012 Molson Canadian NHL All-Star Skills Competition will be divided by
the National Hockey League into two groups of six. At the completion of the 15th round of the 2012 Molson
Canadian NHL All-Star Player Fantasy Draft, one NHL Rookie will be selected to choose which All-Star team
his group will join for the skills competition.

I bet he’d waive for us… 2 chances at a cup, playing with Richards… Might not cost as much as you think. If Dallas is building for the future, I wonder what would get it done. MZA + a 2nd round pick + (what roster player would you give?) ?
I’d start with MZA + a 2nd + Dubi/Wolski

I think Chara doesn’t believe that Gabby told Hank he wants to go up against him, giving Hank the chance to take him…
The 8 players left are Seguin, Couture, Benn, Pominville, Hartnell, Gaborik, Tavares and Eberle.

Not a bad group. I’d guess Benn goes last

Congrats to Logan Couture, the only All-Star from a division-leading team, on being the last selection because he has no friends there.
Color me confused, could someone explain this? Aren’t the Rangers division leading?
