I don't know what's funnier: what this means for the all-star game or that Montreal thinks John Scott can help their team in any way.

Too busy laughing.

Bob McKenzie says these are the pieces:

@TSNBobMcKenzie 

ARI-MTL trade call is in works. Tinordi to ARI and return expected to be John Scott and Stefan Elliott.

I've been waiting with bated breath to see who would win the John Scott sweepstakes

McKenzie saying Elliott will be dealt elsewhere.

Elliott just cleared waivers today. Scott's cleared waivers twice this season.

In November Friedman said that Montreal was likely asking for 2 second rounders for Tinordi.

McKenzie is saying it will be to Nashville for Victor Bartley.

Which is...I don't know?  He's a 27 year old, undrafted defenseman with 23 points in 112 career NHL games.

This only makes me want Scott in the All-Star game more.

Also cleared waivers this season! This has gotta be some kind of record.

I'm surprised Montreal gave up on Tinordi this soon.

Is this a ploy by the NHL to get Scott out of the all star game?

 

[LuncheonMeat]

Does this mean Scott gets to wear the Habs jersey at the All Star game?

@DarrenDreger
Bizarre change. So, Nashville trades Bartley to Ariz for Elliott then Bartley and Scott moved to Mtl for Tinordi and a minor leaguer.

@DarrenDreger
I'm told this 3-way trade Nash-Ariz-Mtl took a few weeks to bring together

WEEKS?

How could Arizona trade an All Star team captain?!?!?

Seriously, though, way too complicated a trade for a group of marginal players. Elliott might have the best potential, so I guess Nashville wins? Or maybe Arizona with Tinordi, if they can make him a better skater? All I know is that this one doesn't really help the Habs much.

He'll be 24 next month with 0G and 6A in 46 NHL games.

Not a great skater. Makes up for it a little by having a big stride, so, in longer races, he's not always a liability, but when he has to react quickly, he's not good. He also basically has no offensive abilities, and is not great with the puck. He's very much the type of defenceman that's becoming obsolete.

That sounds like you just described Luke Schenn.  Which makes sense of everything.

Scott and Bartley will be sent to the AHL per Lavoie:

Basically. He's Schenn, but taller.

@TSNBobMcKenzie
John Scott was previously asked by both NHL and Arizona Coyotes to bow out of NHL All-Star Game. He refused. Trade likely takes care of that

Go NHL Go!
