The Puck Stops Here

The AHL All Star Game will be played January 28th in Binghamton, New York. It is a chance to look at some players who might become NHLers of the future. The game is Team Canada vs. Planet USA (this team consists of all players not born in Canada, but is largely USA based). Teams have 24 man rosters (maybe the NHL could learn from this as there is more room for worthy players after satisfying the one player per team requirement, unlike the 21 man NHL All Star rosters). Here are the lineups:
