David Pastrnak and Jeremy Swayman were selected to different squads in the NHL All-Star Draft on Thursday in en event that was fairly bland. It was Baby Freya who stole the show, really, while the NHL continues to drop the ball in terms of making Pastrnak a face of the league.
This event doesn't seem to hold as much weight as it used to, and host Ian McLaren makes a couple suggestions for how to improve it.
There likely won't be an All-Star even next year, though, as it will reportedly be replaced by a Four Nations event ahead of a return to Olympic play for NHL players. There again, Pastrnak gets the short end of the stick.
