I got a theory.

So the NHL wanted John Scott out of Arizona and the Pacific since they didn't want him to be Captain of the Pacific since they take this way too seriously. Bergevin told them he would take them off their hands if the Habs were allowed to tank, and move into a position to take Matthews. With this the today was set in motion where it will all be moot when the Oilers some how come away with the first 5 picks in the draft.

WE GOT JOHN "ALLSTAR" SCOTT!!!
Best day in habs history. Period!
Need to go out and buy a few jerseys. The cup is ours motherfuckers!

 

[Yawnier]

So what does John Scott do now for the all star game?

He can't be captain for sure. So I bet nothing.

 

[imBask]

You should get a Paperbag too. Imbask, Red, Schuey, and Razor.

say no more

 

[yyzjohn]

Is this the first time a guy voted into the all star game is traded just weeks before the game?

 

[imBask]

 

[MultiJhonny]

Hey Habs fans at least you have the Expos!!!

 

[Rand0m TAG]

does he captain the atlantic division? if so, is subban kicked out?
What if Scott gets buried in the minors, does he still make the ASG?

Pretty sure he still gets to play if he wants but he can't be captain

I love you quick

For some reason this reminds me of when Square Trolled everyone at PSX and announced FF7 PC for PS4.

I hope our FF7R is around the corner.

 

[KingBroly]

What did Bettman give the Habs under the table for this?

 

[Solo]

As a Leaf fan, this sentence makes me smile so much. This must be the feeling Habs fans had when us Leaf fans still felt like Kadri was going to be awesome and not just the completely average and forgettable player he is now that Galchenyuk will soon become.

You guys have a good coach now and some nice prospects, but let's not pretend for even a moment that your NHL roster isn't a dumpster fire or that AGALLY wouldnt be your best player if he was on your team and given ice time.

I'm incredibly sad that I finished it all.

You do realize Kadri is by far our best forward, right? Right???

 

[bonesmccoy]

Quick this repertoire of Danger 5 gifs certainly is impressive

[Red_Man]

I accept this as karma for laughing at the Bruins trading away Hamilton and using the picks on garbage

 

[zroid]

Bozak's probably sticking around. I don't mind this at all now.

Report: Maple Leafs telling teams Van Riemsdyk not available, Kadri's price 'extremely high'

I've come around on Bozak since Babcock fixed his usage but I mean, if the guy you "need" is a one dimensional 1 way centre who gets buried against tough opposition, then I think you have a serious problem

 

[imBask]

the Kadri - Galchenyuk comparison is actually pretty good

 

[CreeperBlocks]

What did Bettman give the Habs under the table for this?

Probably nothing. Bettman was probably like "hey Marc can you help us get John Scott out of the all star game?"

And our GM said yes

 

[yyzjohn]

Hey, blow me buddy.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I need a bag.

 

[KingBroly]

So the NHL got Scott out of the All-Star game and are making sure the fans can't do this again next year.

Great job thinking of your fans, NHL!

 

[calder]

Literally burst out laughing when I heard about the Habs trade.

My cubicle neighbor IMed me a "???????" a half second after I saw the tweet.

 

[MultiJhonny]

I still don't get it.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

this trade feels worse than the gomez trade. at least with the gomez trade, their was something behind. yes we overpaid for a declining player but at least they tried to get a #1 center. What need does this fill. feels like poor asset management and serves no purpose whatsoever. I would have prefered losing Tinordi for a 6th or even nothing.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Damn this LiS limited edition looks nice

Acceptance

 

[CreeperBlocks]

This Trade was a Work if i've ever seen one

Okay i've calmed down now.

I think the reason was that Montreal Agreed to trade John Scott was to keep him out of the All Star Game. It kinda makes sense.Tinordi wasn't going to make the lineup at all so giving him a start in Arizona isn't a bad thing. In Fact I hope he does well with the Desert Dogs.

We shouldn't panic you guys.

 

[zroid]

I wonder how MB will justify this trade to the press

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Damn this LiS limited edition looks nice

When does it come out?

 

[MultiJhonny]

When does it come out?

Scratch that. It says the 19th on amazon

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

LOL
All Star John Montreal Canadiens Scott!

I think the Habs save some money with this at least, right?

 

[Red_Man]

Genuinely hope Tinordi works out for the Coyotes, I always liked him and still believe he can be a solid top 4 guy.

 

[zroid]

I think it frees up a roster spot since the guy they got from Nashville is already in the minors. and they can bury Scott in the minors as well.

no longer stuck with Tinordi on the roster which is good I guess.

money and cap wise it doesn't mean much

They already sent John and the other guy down to St Johns

 

[Red_Man]

If the Habs make the playoffs and by some miracle win the cup, I'll buy a Habs John Scott jersey and post it on here.

John Scott loves milk and cookies

Bergevin sending Scott & Bartley to AHL & Tinordi's $850,000 books means HABS save money which they'll use 2give Desharnais an extension

Nothing to do with the Scott/Tinordi trade. AHL players can't play in the All-star game. Yotes did league a favor!

 

[fallout]

Aside from the hilarity of it all ... is this trade actually meaningful for any of the parties involved?

Tinordi could actually reach his potential and be a great player for the Yotes.

The #habs sent John Scott to AHL St. John's and aren't likely to recall him. That would make him ineligible for the NHL all-star game.

NHL was Definitely Behind this move.

 

[Stasis]

Got texts from two local buddies who are Habs fans but don't really follow hockey, asking about Scott and Bartley, wondering if it was a good move. Lol.

Yes guys, awesome! Grats!

I shouldn't laugh though. Not like we're doing fucking anything. Our own Etem trade was silly.

Edit: And I genuinely don't find it super far-fetched that the NHL would have a hand in this. It's plausible. Fuck what the fans want! Casuals won't understand this! Get him out of here! Lol.
