Hi GMs, sorry for the long absence in stories. Sometimes it’s hard to dive into writing. I still love you though, so cancel the therapy sessions.

It’s time to look at the candidates for the all-star game which will be held in London by virtue of a vote by the GMs.

The Defensemen

To vote, send a message to the commissioner listing your top 3 choices at each position (5 for defensemen) listed in order. For example: “Northern Conference center: 1-Smith, 2-Jones, 3-Watson. Southern Conference center: 1-Williams, 2-Jefferson, 3-Pzyczwewski” Send all positions together or separately, whatever is easiest. Your selections don’t have to be off the ballots listed below, they can be “write-in” votes for players not listed below.

The top choice will receive 5 points, the second 3 and the third 1 point. GMs can’t vote for anyone on their team. If you do, the vote won’t be counted.

Voting deadline: Noon (EST), Monday June 24

This ballot is simply the Statistics list off the WSH site, broken into conferences. For defensemen, categories were sorted by scoring, blocked shots, hits and plus-minus.
