Adam Rotter: With the 3 on 3 format and every team needing a representative, Henrik is really the only choice. He is very deserving of it but I think you can make an argument for Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider or Kevin Hayes as the Rangers rep. The issue with those players is that it’s hard to slot them in ahead of any of the other Metro forwards and then finding a player on one of those teams to replace Henrik.
