True, I guess it's just the tone of the argument being had. Jackman, IMO, really isn't much of a hockey player, I don't know why he's here. Same with Scott. But at the same time, when you have two incredibly similar players, and one gets "he has no place in hockey" and the other gets "maybe we should trade him, or send him to the AHL, so ____ can play" it's kind of like using kid gloves.
But you're right, the distaste for Jackman is obvious, I suppose I feel people are just being hyperbolic about Scott without REALLY being all that fair to the situation or the actual player.
