Scott is an asset for the regular season as protection for the "superstars," but he has no place on the playoff roster, so no big loss, considering how the team is playing in the regular season.

There's a replacement that will be announced tomorrow. Not as big as Scott, but can skate play and kill penalties.

Because all they can possibly say positive about Scott is that he is big and they try to make it sound like he is something actually worth wile.

Anyone else see the TSN Analysts rip on the Rangers (and Scott) for this deal? I found it humorous.
Sather seems to have a love affair with guys who can fight but can barely play hockey. He gave Boogard a ridiculous contract for a player of his skill.

Sather's still their GM -and he doesn't exactly have a reputation for doing sane things ... so it sorta fits.
I did read some material - from 300 Level blog today (it was posted a couple of days back I think) - about front office shenanigans with the Hawks, about how Stan was ticked off at Quenneville (and other things) -for not using the personnel provided (or something along those lines) - that to me said Scott all over it - as over the past season plus it was clear that Quenneville was not that big on using a guy like Scott in the lineup -or probably more accurately didn't agree with the philosophy of skating a goon -and tried jamming a square peg into a round hole. Scott was and is a goon, not a hockey player.
When you have a goon on your team and dress him, you cannot ever try skating 4 lines. The entire 4 lines thing is something I am not quite sure that Quenneville has ever quite managed to get. You don't really need 4 lines, if your top 3 are effective -but I've written that particular line before.
Trying to make Scott a hockey player, was not a particularly workable idea, but Quenneville tried and tried again. Stan signed Scott to a 2 year contract, and I'm fairly sure that came from a lack of communication between the GM and the coaching staff- as clearly last season, a guy like Scott didn't fit in the plans of the coaching staff. . . I do figure that maybe the Prez (marketing-guru) is basically Pulford v 2.0 -excepting one big fact -and that was that Pulford did play the game, and played it in the Original 6 ... so Pulford knew hockey (still does to a degree -but the line written about how a game passes guys by over time -is something that applied to Pulford).
IIRC Pulford had a pretty decent record as head coach in the 70's (I'm thinking with the Kings back in their purple and gold days). . . that's something that no one can ever say about the former Cub Prez (unless the Hawks sign him as a free agent and then skate him a few games ...which itself might actually be some worthwhile mareketing).
Anyways -Scott -well, his time with the Hawks seem to point to the validity of behind the scenes issues within the organization.

Funny convo between two meatheads on the other team after my hockey game monday:
Meathead forward:"Did we make any moves today?"
Meathead goalie: "We traded John Scott"
Meathead Forward: "Whaaaaaat?!?!? For who?"
Meathead goalie: "A second round 2012 pick I think"
Meathead Forward: "Ugh, and it will be like the last pick in the second round too. We are stupid."
This prompted me and Dmelt36 to rush out of the building before we started bleeding from our ears.

I don't know what's funny about it - but I can think (and remind you, I bet) of something ironic.
Smurfs. :lol:

I suck at this, but couldn't resist an attempt.
