For the record, Friday is Media Day for the 2015 All-Star weekend, not Pick on Zemgus Girgensons Day.

Brovada released some 2015 All-Star odds today, covering obvious questions such as who will be selected first and last during the fantasy draft (as well as more esoteric ones, like Jaroslav Halak and Carey Price being on the same team).

Let’s start with who might be selected last:
Who will be picked last in the 2015 NHL All Star Draft

Any Other Player 3/1

Zemgus Girgensons (BUF) 4/1

Radim Vrbata (VAN) 4/1

Patrik Elias (NJ) 5/1

Bobby Ryan (OTT) 6/1

Tyler Johnson (TB) 6/1

Phil Kessel (TOR) 9/1

Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) 15/1

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (EDM) 15/1

Tyler Seguin (DAL) 20/1

Patrice Bergeron (BOS) 30/1

Steven Stamkos (TB) 100/1

Ryan Johansen (CLB) 100/1

Anze Kopitar (LA) 100/1

John Tavares (NYI) 100/1

(Don’t sleep on the “one of the captains outright trolling a friend and/or teammate,” by the way.)

On the flip side, who might get selected first?

Oliver Ekman-Larsson (PHO) 100/1

Despite being one of the better offensive defensemen in the NHL, Oliver Ekman-Larsson said he wouldn’t be shocked if he went last:

As far as who will win, Team Toews is at even odds while Team Foligno’s -140 (5/7). Finally, some of the odder bits:
Will Carey Price (MON) and Jaroslav Halak (NYI) be on the same All Star Team?

Yes EVEN (1/1)

No -140 (5/7)

Will Ryan Johansen (CLB) and Nick Foligno (CLB) be on the same All Star Team?

Yes - 200 (1/2)

No +150 (3/2)

Will Jonathan Toews (CHI), Corey Crawford (CHI), Duncan Keith (CHI) and Brent Seabrook (CHI) and be on the same All Star Team?

Yes +550 (11/2)

No -900 (1/9)

Is anyone else a little disappointed that “uncomfortable Phil Kessel facial expressions” wasn’t a category? (Taking over-four.)
