I literally know nothing.
The new format, which will be implemented for the 2011 NHL All-Star Game in Raleigh, NC on Jan. 30, goes like this: Fans will vote for six "starters" in the All-Star Game (3 forwards, 2 defensemen, 1 goalie) from a ballot of 100 players from both conferences. The NHL will then name another 36 All-Stars for the game, giving each team 12 forwards, 6 defensemen and 3 goalies after the draft. (Shanahan wasn't sure how coaches will be assigned to the teams, but they won't be in the draft.)
That pool of 42 players will nominate six of their peers to lead the two all-star teams: a team captain and two alternate captains for each side. On Friday, Jan. 28, a televised draft event will be held in Raleigh with team leadership selecting their rosters, with the order determined by a coin-toss.
