It’s that time of the year again. With the new year drawing us closer to the mid-point of the NHL season, we are also brought closer to the exciting festivities of the NHL All-Star Game and the pending Toronto Maple Leafs to play in it.

This season’s events will be set in Los Angeles, where many of the league’s best players from each of the 30 teams will gather to faceoff in a promising game filled with lots of best-against-best action

The Leafs are expected to have at least one player represent them at the game. This season has brought the Leafs quite a lot of surprises, and there are a few players who may have a shot at playing in Los Angeles on January 29.

With that said, let’s take a look at a few of the potential All-Star candidates and why or why not they should have the chance to represent the team at the All-Star Game.
