For the first time since 2015, NHL All-Stars were able to pick and choose their own teams for the event.
Gone are the boring, divisional teams of years past and in once again was pure chaos as captains handpicked their players for the four-team, winner-take-all tournament. This year, the NHL’s All-Star festivities are being held in Toronto, with the skills competition returning to a more traditional format for Friday and the usual three-on-three All-Star Game tournament set for Saturday.
Last time an All-Star Draft was held, Alex Ovechkin stole the show with his incredible sign begging to be picked last so he could win a car. This time, the stars were out in front of the fans in Toronto as they waited for their turn to hear their name called.
With the festivities now over, here are the players of all four teams set to take part in the upcoming 2024 NHL All-Star Game.
