4. Which of the teams can field the best first line, first pair or goalie tandem? What makes them the best? (80 Words, +1 TPE)

In terms of a 1-2 tandem, I think that the Central division has the best overall pair. While Dionne/Lodge likely hold the highest average TPE among all the duo’s, I think that just in general both are incredible goalies who any team would be lucky to have. Lodge is hitting their peak as perhaps the strongest shot stopper in the league, and to have a commanding veteran like Dionne there to help, you really can’t go wrong with this partnership!

6. Who do you think should be captain of each team? Why? (220 Words, +4 TPE)

Due to personal preferences, I would say that in almost all cases I think any all-star captain should come from the team that won the division they are in.  Given that, starting in the Pacific I would look at conferences/division/league champions SFP as the obvious choice. From that team I think the clear choices would be Rowan O’Bernie, and then Justin Time. Given they likely have some leadership structure already, this makes an easy combo of veterans to assign a C and A to. In the Central I would go with New Orleans (despite Texas having a good shout) based on the same logic. From those selected, my personal vote would go towards Lester Oiduser, who has been a force in defense for the Specters for some time. The Atlantic conferences gives us Atlanta as their top seed, and plenty of good options from their group of all-stars. While Billy Herrington or Georg N’Zola are perfectly great choices, I think based on the season that Jae-ik Barron just had, that it would be a great nod to let them captain for the team. Finally, the North East champion Buffalo has many, perhaps too many great choices. In the end I think I would go with Jarrod Lakemore, although considering some of the other options, its hard to go wrong here!

8. The Teammate One (126 Words, +2 TPE)

The lone representative (and teammate) for Montreal is Xavier Beausoleil. Despite the Patriotes finishing bottom of the East, Xavier is entirely worth of being on the all-star roster. From a TPE perspective, they are the best player on the team, and the obvious choice for a representative for the team. However, the in-sim performance was also there to match, as they carried a team-leading 74 points. No attacking player logged more average ice time then Xavier for the Patriotes, and overall has continued to be a leader for the attacking unit. If all-star teams had anything like an SHL style locker room, Takk would obviously make a great addition there as well, just an all around great representative for Montreal to have for the upcoming games.
