They could incite one this year with such a defined division (pun absolutely intended) between teams. Would he play for the Pacific team with a Montreal badge?

Would the Atlantic team have an extra player?

I think because it's Scott, a player that they likely didn't want going anyway, they'll push a rule through. And I don't think many people are going to be able to offer an objection to it besides the humour of Scott being there.

Had it been a legitimate All-Star traded, the decision would have been very interesting. I could see them still excluding that player and having another player added to the team they vacated. Hell, Crosby isn't even going to this game!
