The NHL is taking steps to avoid another John Scott situation at the All-Star Game.The league announced new fan voting rules Monday that disqualify players from being named All-Star captains if theyre injured or sent to the American Hockey League. Scott, a journeyman enforcer, was voted in by fans last year when he was with the Arizona Coyotes and still served as the Pacific Division captain despite being traded to the Montreal Canadiens and demoted to the AHL.Scott was the MVP of the 3-on-3 tournament that will be back for a second year, but the NHL didnt want a similar awkward situation to happen leading up to the 2017 All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.Players who are injured or in the minors wont be on the active ballot until theyre back in the NHL. If someone is voted captain and is hurt or in the AHL, the player with the second-most votes gets in.Scott told Sportsnet that he approves of the rules change.I expected something to come about. Its good. Something had to happen. I dont think they wanted a situation like me to happen again, he told Sportsnet. Guys in the AHL, guys that are hurt ... I dont think they should be included anymore. I think it was a one-time thing. Its a good rule.Fans will vote for a captain from each division -- the Metropolitan, Atlantic, Central and Pacific -- regardless of position.
