For Your Consideration: 2010 All Star Candidates

So here we are.  Just a couple weeks away from the Olympic Break. 

What does that mean for NHL fans?  One, it means that your team gets a two-week break right in the middle of the season (with the exception of a handful of players) and two, it means no All Star game. 

So, for your consideration, I submit Wild Nation’s 2010 All Star ballot.  So talk amongst yourselves and decide your Western and Eastern Conference teams and I’ll be back later with my picks!
