Despite a recent trade to Montreal, John Scott will captain the Pacific Division in the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game.

Scott was voted as captain by fans for the game but was traded to the Canadiens soon after.

"I am looking forward to enjoying a fun and unique experience at All-Star Weekend in Nashville with my family," Scott said in a statement released by the league. "While being voted to the All-Star Game by the fans was not something I expected to happen, I am excited to participate in the All-Star events with my fellow players."

The trade from the Coyotes on Friday disappointed did disappoint Scott. 

 "Yeah, obviously," Scott said. "It's something I didn't expect. It came out of thin air for me. I had no idea I was going to get traded. But hey, it is what it is. I had a contract with the Coyotes, and they could trade me wherever they wanted. It's their decision. They wanted to make their team better, and that's what happened."
