I don't like it either. If they want an all-star game I'd prefer to have it at the beginning of the season, after the pre-season, but a couple days before the season begins. Sort of to kick off the new season.

I still think that players need a break midway into the season, so I'd have a 4-5 day break around this time, but no all-star game or anything like that. No hockey period for the players, not even practice (unless they wanted to skate by themselves or something).
