Confirmed with Link: Sharks sign John Scott

[HipCzech]

I can't believe you guys are still talking about this!

 

[sharkbite3]

John Scott is about to become a new fan favorite. Just wait and see.

Fans will love him for his silliness off the ice and his commitment as a teammate.

He's pretty much guaranteed to take a match penalty at some point in the season....

Something that non-goons do, too.

 

[SC2008]

Just realized Scott is 6'8" 270lbs. Take that Semenov!

 

[Chaotic8]

You don't pay a guy $700,000 to fight in the AHL...

Of course not, it was beyond wishful thinking...perhaps borderline lunacy. Rebuild plan; "Ludicrous speed, go!"

Isn't it more likely that Scott will spend a decent amount of time in the press box and be used primarily when we face a more aggressive team? Someone needs to be the spare forward and it makes no sense to sit one of the young guys in the press box on a regular basis. Although I will admit, since we have Brown I'm unsure of why we need both him and Scott. Seems like a bit of a waste to spend almost $2M on these two roster spots.

Hey, at least this season will be entertaining. I got money he has a career year ... 3 pts.

I personally think it would be fun to see Scott and Brown on a line together. Fierce. But I understand if you or anyone else thinks I'm an idiot for that.

Fun maybe. Effective? No. In the playoffs? Hell no.

What if..... john Scott scored 30 goals on Joe Thorntons wing.........

 

[Barrie22]

Just tell thornton to pass it off his face.

That's like asking what if one of us got signed by the Sharks and scored 30 goals on Thornton's wing. It's a cute thought but that's all it is.

Lol face,arm,leg

I know I know lol

Just hard to fathom how much cap we have in burish, Scott and brown.

There's no upside, no potential to develop. Just a cool 2 mill that we don't have anymore.

Now that makes sense honestly

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Now that makes sense honestly

It makes sense why he got the man but the issue is that it's a fallacy to believe that he's a deterrent. John Scott doesn't help this team in the playoffs.

That's actually over 3 and a half mill...

I completely agree. But yes, fun. Fun to see the look of terror on the face of any man that realizes he's done something unacceptable with Big John and Brownie on the ice. Pick your poison. Someone's feeding you knuckle sammiches.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Watch John Scott win the Conny Smythe next season.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I'm pretty sure I would be more scared of pelech and Desjardins than Scott and brown but yet, I'm not max Lapierre and I don't have a ref to hide behind. Lapierre did and so he still hit Boyle while Pelech and Desjardins were on the ice.

 

[luongo321]

Sharks, fans. I don't understand this signing.

 

[Timo Time]

Sharks, fans. I don't understand this signing.

Neither does Scott.

I understand you hate Brown and Scott but why would you honestly think that? Why would guy in his 4th NHL game and a young grinder not known for toughness be scarier than two of the most notorious enforcers in the NHL, a full five inches and 32 pounds more than the other duo?
