    [QUOTE=LawMan;1579243The really terrible part is that even though Scott still gets to play in the ASG he still ends up moving his family from Arizona to Newfoundland all because the NHL didn't have any foresight whatsoever.[/QUOTE]

    I wonder if he has a Newfie accent yet.

    I may be biased, but Newfoundland is a great place to raise kids. Also, it's not a long-term move. Scott is a free agent this summer so he can sign wherever he likes. His wife might stay in Arizona to give birth (he's in Newfoundland for maybe three to six months at this stage) as it's short-term, and I don't think she would be allowed to fly at nine-months pregnant with twins.

    The bigger question will be if he doesn't get signed, how long until the conspiracy theories start that says he has been blackballed from the league for not bowing out of the all-star game.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    It's always more fun if there are conspiracy theories.

    The Players Tribune gave players a fill-in-the-blank sheet during the all-star game. Here are a couple of them:

    Johnny Gaudreau's Story

    Everyone handles it differently, but I’ve never been a big chirper myself because the sound of the goal horn is loud enough.
    That's a great line haha.

    Those were interesting - more so than the archived ones from NHLers.

    That was a nice read, but nothing seems to compare to John Scott's article.
