2016 The Year of No Arizona Coyotes All Star?

The NHL decided they wanted to spice up the All Star Game and give fans the power.

The fans used that power to vote in relatively unknown Arizona Coyotes enforcer John Scott.

That was strange in it’s right, particularly considering the Coyotes still had fan favorites Shane Doan and Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

It got stranger from there.

Not only was he voted in as a captain, the Coyotes traded him in a questionable deal before the All-Star Game to Montreal. This left the NHL in a strange situation and left the Coyotes to not have a player on their roster participate in the All-Star Game.

For his part, John Scott went on to steal the show and win All-Star Game MVP.
