John Scott is exactly the type of player that the NHL needs to get out of the game.

We sure do.
As Resolute pointed out, Scott plays more than either of those guys, and Jackman had more fights last year. Scott plays gritty and hard-nosed, just like Grats, and has only had 1 fight this season.
I'm just not seeing the major difference that you're seeing. These guys are all essentially the same player.
I love Grats too, but let's have a little dose of reality.
