"The 2017 NHL All-Star Fan Vote will allow fans to vote for one All-Star player from each Division, without regard to position. The top vote-getter from each Division will be named an NHL All-Star, as well as Captain of his respective team.
Eligible players must be on an NHL Club’s active roster as of Nov. 1. Any player not on the active roster on that date due to injury or special circumstances can be added to the ballot if / when he returns to the NHL Club’s active roster.
If a player is assigned /loaned to the American Hockey League (AHL) or any other minor league team between Nov. 1 and 5 p.m. on Jan. 26, the player is not eligible in All-Star balloting. However, if the minor league assignment/loan is due to conditioning reasons, the player remains eligible."
Eli valitun pelaajan joka saa ottaa osaa All Stars-otteluun pitää olla mukana NHL-joukkueen rosterissa 1.11.-26.1. (loukkaantumiset pois laskettuna). Eli jos tuolla ajalla on pudotettu AHL:aan, niin ei ole asiaa All Stars-matsiin vaikka fanit sinne äänestäisivätkin.
