Over the last two days, the AHL has named their All Star Game rosters. The game will be played January 26th in Worchester, Massachusetts. It pits the AHL all stars from Canada (Team Canada) against those from the rest of the world (Planet USA). All Star Teams have 24 players each with 13 forwards, 8 defencemen and 3 goalies on each. It is an interesting game because it is a chance to see many future NHL players in one place.
Here are the rosters:

My NHL All Star Rosters

The West Conference All Star Team is announced today (Wednesday) and the East Conference team tomorrow (Thursday). I want to post my teams in advance of the announcements.
First the (assumed) ground rules for the teams. The starters are given by fan balloting. The rosters are 21 men in size (as the last few All Star Games have been) with 12 forwards, 6 defencemen and 3 goalies. Each team must be represented on the rosters - last year this was true of the initial rosters but when injury replacements were made this restriction was loosened.

New Rookie Of The Year

As the season progresses I like to keep track of the players who I think should win the major awards. I have been picking Derick Brassard of the Columbus Blue Jackets as the leader for the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. This situation has clearly changed as Brassard has had to undergo surgery on his right shoulder. He is expected to miss the remainder of the season. This removes him from serious contention for the Calder Trophy, although he still ranks second in the rookie point scoring race (behind Kris Versteeg of Chicago and tied with Patrik Berglund of St Louis). Thus it is time to pick a new top rookie this season.
My choice is a Brassard teammate in Columbus. I pick goaltender Steve Mason.

Dallas Stars Scapegoat

The Dallas Stars are not having a good season. They are last in the West Conference with an 11-18 record (with four regulation tie points). They have had the worst goaltending in the NHL with a .878 saves percentage so far this season. Marty Turco has not played well (though his game is improving) and his backup Tobias Stephan does not appear to be an NHL calibre goalie. This leaves Dallas with the third worst goals against average in the league at 3.45. Their special teams have been bad. Their 13.0% efficiency on the power play is third worst in the league. Their penalty kill is also third worst in the NHL with a 76.9% success rate. Their offence has been a little bit better. It is ninth worst in the league with 2.66 goals scored per game. Their top scorer Mike Ribeiro is the second lowest scoring player who leads his team in scoring (only Jay Bouwmeester of Florida has fewer points). Their captain Brenden Morrow is injured and likely won’t play again this season. Who is at fault for this?
Obviously, it’s Sean Avery.
