John Scott, as it turns out, is still headed to the NHL All-Star Game in Nashville.
The NHL announced Tuesday it had decided to allow him to captain the Pacific Division team even though he got traded out of the conference.
"I am looking forward to enjoying a fun and unique experience at All-Star Weekend in Nashville with my family," Scott said in statement released by the league. "While being voted to the All-Star Game by the fans was not something I expected to happen, I am excited to participate in the All-Star events with my fellow players.
