lafountain Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have always been under the impression that Seniority got preference when it came to the jersey numbers in the All-Star game and in International Competition. I just noticed something though and was wondering about it. In 1999, 2000, and 2003 Paul Kariya and Mike Modano both made the same All-Star team. In 1999 and 2000 Kariya wore 9 while Modano wore 27. In 2003 Modano wore 9 and Kariya wore 16. Do Starters get preference over Seniority since in 1999 and 2000 Kariya was a Starter and in 2003 Modano was a Starter? So does it go like this-- 1st Pick - Starters 2nd Pick - Seniority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaNoobie Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I think the players can just work it out amongst themselves. iirc correctly, Naslund and Sakic both made the starting lineup with Naslund being the captain. Naslund gave up #19 to Sakic and opted to go with 91. Although, it could be because they're both starters and Sakic has seniority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
