Twitter reacts as All-Star John Scott traded to Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens, losers of 14 of their last 18 games, took to the trade market Friday. And wouldn't you know it, they found themselves an All-Star.

All-Star John Scott.

Naturally, Twitter had a grand 'ol time with the trade (a deal that also saw two depth defensemen swap sweaters).

John Scott has already mastered both the forward and defense position. Interesting gamble by the Habs to see if he can play in net too.

Who's going to break the news to Subban that he's out of the All-Star Game because John Scott is a Hab? #Canadiens #NHL

John Scott going to the Habs opens the door for Zack Kassian to become Pacific Division captain during all-star weekend.
