John Scott has become a household name over the past few months, which has certainly been an emotional time for the former Blackhawks forward and defenseman.
He's been placed on — and cleared — waivers three times by the Arizona Coyotes. He's been sent to the minors just as many times. He has no goals and has appeared in just 11 games this season.
Yet despite all that, fans voted him a captain to represent the Pacific Division of this year's All-Star Game.
Less than two weeks later, Scott was unexpectedly traded to the Montreal Canadiens and immediately got sent down to the minors, which sparked controversy that the NHL may have been behind it an effort to make him ineligible for the All-Star Game.
