At 6:30PM Eastern time, Dean Youngblood and I will be having a live (in this thread) Mock Draft of this years All Star Game. I will be taking on Team Staal (with Kesler and Green) while DY will be in charge of Team Lidstrom (with Kane and St. Louis). I have been lucky enough to be granted first overall pick and I'm pretty excited about who I will select - so many choices! (Sarnia boy?! haha)
Alex Ovechkin -- Eric Staal -- Corey Perry Daniel Sedin -- Ryan Kesler -- Daniel Briere Rick Nash -- Brad Richards -- David Backes Patrick Sharp -- Jonathan Toews -- Phil Kessel
Mike Green -- Shea Weber Zdeno Chara -- Erik Karlsson Brent Burns -- Marc Staal

1) Draft players on how we would do the draft. Meaning no hometown influences on my behalf.
2) Not follow the goaltender rule (must be picked by Round 10).
