Wtf doesn't every team have a player at each position on the ballot?

It's not like these are paper ballots anymore & that w/ 16 teams per conference the type face would be too small to read?

So assuming one of the 3 Sabres isn't voted in as captain, one will be selected by the league to be on the team?

...to continue the long standing tradition of sabres looking out of place in the skills competition.

None of the Sabres will win the division voting.  The league will pick the Buffalo player.  It'll be Okposo or Dahlin unless Okposo is injured or Thompson somehow goes on a tear before they announce.

The Atlantic will be:

F Pastrnak (BOS)

F Larkin (DET)

F Huberdeau (FLA)

F Tkachuk (OTT)

F Toffoli (MTL)

F Stamkos (TBL)

F Mathews (TOR)

D Dahlin (BUF)

D Hedman (TBL)

G Bobrovsky (FLA)

G Campbell (TOR)

If they go with Okposo, Dahlin won't go, Ekblad would be included as the 2nd D, and then that bumps Bob in favor of Vasilevsky (because no team gets three+ unless they're hosting), then Stamkos won't go (same reason).  This is if everyone agrees to go, which doesn't happen; Rask sat out last year, Mathews went but didn't play.

The rosters are 6F, 3D, & 2G.  It's 3v3, not 4v4.

Last year:

7F 2D Atlantic

5F 4D Metro

7F 2D Central

7F 2D Pac

2019:

7F 2D Atlantic

6F 3D Metro

7F 2D Central

6F 3D Pac

 

So maybe.

Interesting.  TIL.  Always thought they went 6-3.

League would pick Dahlin I'd guess and I think that'd be the right call, as much as I like KO

KO would be a great story, and great opportunity for him, but realistically RD has the skill set for an All Star game.

7 for 11 plus three alternates and 9 for eleven on positions from each team, partly because they haven't selected last men in.
