Montreal Canadiens: Candidates to make the All-Star Team

Voting for the NHL All-Star Team captains have already started, but it makes you think who will be representing the Montreal Canadiens for the entire event.

Besides actual games played, there are a few other things to look forward to in an NHL season. The Trade Deadline is the clear attention grabber from most fans, but the All-Star Weekend is something we always have fun watching. It’s always a sight to see the best players from all over the league come together for the Skills Competition and the eventual game the next day. The days that lead up to it have some buzz as well as people try to predict who’s going to be on each team.

Preparation for the All-Star weekend has already started, and the polls to vote for a team captain from each division have been open for a few days. It’s a nice way to get the fans involved in the event, even though you’re limited to who you can vote for (we have the John Scott event to thank for that).

However, the rest of the players named to each team is still up for debate. It makes you wonder who from the Montreal Canadiens will get the consideration. The Habs season has had its ups and downs, but there have been several players who have stood out and are well deserving of being an All-Star.

Assuming the format is going to stay the same from last year, 11 players will be on each divisional team including the voted captain. There isn’t much wiggle room there, but at very least, we’re guaranteed at least one Montreal Canadiens player. Who is it?
