SI HAS IDEA FOR NHL IN SPICING UP ITS ALL-STAR WEEKEND

          The NHL "should consider" staging a game featuring the
     top 40 Canadian Hockey League prospects during its All-Star
     Weekend, according to Kostya Kennedy of SI.  Kennedy: "The
     NHL dreads the logistical nightmare of adding the CHL game
     to an already overstuffed weekend.  They're also afraid that
     the game might not draw fans in U.S. cities.  But if the
     game is packaged with the All-Stars skill competition,
     spectators will turn out" (SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, 1/26 issue).
