Debates continue over the manner in which all-stars are selected.
The biggest complaint is that, because league policy stipulates each team must be represented, deserving players are being excluded. Meanwhile, while the Gretzkys and the Messiers will be hard pressed to get excited because they've played in so many all-star games, getting to San Jose is a big deal for players such as Chicago's Tony Amonte. His agent will be able to use Amonte's all-star status when it comes time to renew Amonte's contract. We welcome your feedback. All rights reserved.
