The NHL All-Star Game will drop the fantasy draft format and switch to a 3-on-3 mini-tournament, according to TSNs Bob McKenzie, who says the league will officially announce the format later today. It could be fun! It could be really boring, just like every other iteration.
Heres how itll reportedly work at the 2016 ASG in Nashville:
There will be four teams of nine skaters and two goalies, one team for each of the four divisions (Atlantic and Metropolitan in the East; Central and Pacific in the West). There will be a 20-minute mini-game likely two 10-minute halves featuring one division versus another in 3-on-3 action followed by another 20-minute game with the other two divisions playing each other.
The two winning teams would then meet in a third 20-minute session for the so-called championship game.
