Eric Staal kept true to his pre-draft promise and picked his buddy, Cam Ward as the first overall pick of the NHL All Star Fantasy Draft. After Ward, alternate captain Mike Green took his teammate Alex Ovechkin, then after splitting up the Sedin twins, Team Staal went after defense and selected Zdeno Chara.
Staal eventually chose his brother Marc, and then a bit later made the home crowd happy by picking the youngest player in the league and the youngest player ever to be selected to a modern era All Star Game, Jeff Skinner.
Skinner was treated like a rock star most of the day at the Fan Fair as he started out signing autographs for over 90 minutes at the Upper Deck booth, then was interviewed by John Forslund in the XM Theater. But it didn't stop there. The youngster was sought after by most of the throng of media attending the event.
The Fan Fair was a tremendous success the first day and drew a huge crowd. I had a busy day and took a lot of video which I'll be sorting out later tonight and tomorrow.
