So many people have written and written well about the John Scott fiasco, and with good reason. It's fascinating, it's charged with emotion, and it's about as controversial a maneuver by the league--sorry, by Arizona, Nashville and Montreal--since the last lockout.
Eriksson's loss in the summer of 2013 was by far the most painful part of the Seguin trade. To watch him then get knocked out with a predatory and needless hit just three months later was downright ghastly. John Scott would be suspended seven games for that hit, but you could still make a very good argument that he deserved more.
