The Arizona Coyotes traded John Scott to the Montreal Canadiens and started a circus on Twitter. Today the NHL made it right.
Fans were upset that they had voted Scott into the All-Star game and now it appeared the NHL had engineered his removal. Media personalities were upset at the fans for voting him into the game in the first place.
Now, though, John Scott has been restored as the once and future Pacific Division All-Star captain.
Scott, elected to the Pacific Division captaincy in fan voting while a member of the Arizona Coyotes, was traded Friday to the Montreal Canadiens of the Atlantic Division.
