TRAIKOS: The All-Snubs — 10 players who deserve to be at the NHL All-Star Game

After all, it’s the All\u002DStar Game — not the All\u002DInclusive Game.

Draisaitl was not one of the 32 players named to the All-Star Game on Thursday. Part of the reason why is because the NHL requires only one player chosen per team — and Draisaitl wasn’t going to get chosen ahead of McDavid.

Instead, Calgary’s Nazem Kadri is an All Star, even though he is tied for 95th overall with 29 points. The same goes for Anaheim’s Troy Terry , Philadelphia’s Kevin Hayes and Arizona’s Clayton Keller .Article content Meanwhile, Vancouver’s Bo Horvat and Boston’s David Pastrnak, who are ranked in the top-5 in goal-scoring, were snubbed. Same with Edmonton’s Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Colorado’s Mikko Rantanen, who are among the top-10 in points. And Buffalo’s Rasmus Dahlin, who is ranked third amongst defencemen in goals and points.

Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck has the second-most wins and second-best save percentage. He wasn’t chosen ahead of Nashville’s Juuse Saros, who is ranked outside the top-10 in both categories. Neither was Ilya Sorokin of the New York Islanders, who has the third-best save percentage.While the NHL has reserved three spots from each division for fan voting, stuffing the ballot box still won’t be enough to get everyone in. Which is a shame.
