Tough blow for MacKinnon as his injury will prevent him from participating in the All-Star game and it looks like Roman Josi is taking his place and Kaprizov has been named the captain by replacing MacKinnon
Josi should have been on the team in the first place. You've got the two best defensemen in the NHL this year in the Central - no reason why one of them has to wait for an injury to get named.

All-Star Game is an utter pointless mess anyway. Generally doesn't have whoever is playing like one at the time, just those who have the reputation, and even then there are better players missing who do have reputations just so it can include every team. Don't think I've watched one since the early 2000's at least.
