Flyers fans tuned in to Sunday’s NHL All-Star game may do a double take when they look at the teams and realize that their two faves — captain Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek — are on opposing teams!
The NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft has only been around for the last three All-Star Games, but 2015 may have been the most fun yet. From NHL players showing actual personality, to some surprise picks throughout the draft and a rather hilarious trade made for some great moments. The draft also did a nice job of setting the stage for what should be a pretty fun All-Star Weekend in Columbus.
Here is a rundown of the teams.
