The fact that Brian Campbell has been recognized as an All-Star this season has some extra significance to him. Campbell and his massive contract were dumped on the Florida Panthers over the summer, who needed to add a lot of salary to reach the cap. However, while many people focused on his contract, even then it was clear that this was a golden opportunity for Campbell. He role in Chicago had been reduced, partially due to injuries and partially due to the rise of other talented offensive defensemen, but Florida provided him with an opportunity to be a power-play leader again. Campbell has done just that, which has led to him posting 33 points in 42 games. "The first [All-Star Game] was really special, but this one is probably the best for myself," said Campbell. "I feel I've been written off a bit by some people." They aren't writing him off anymore.
