After eight years retired from the league, Dropping the Gloves Podcast host John Scott is reportedly on the verge of returning to the NHL for the San Jose Sharks.
John Scott was a major part of the Sharks franchise, even in just the 38 games he played for them in the 2014-15 season. Though a more serious enforcer than a goal-scorer, the former NHL all-star improved the team's chances of success with every on-ice appearance.
"Working on a longform story that just had me looking up the Sharks' record with and without John Scott in the lineup in 2014-15. (It was 21-12-5 with, and 19-21-4 without).
I'm really excited about the story in general, but maybe more excited about the comments section 😂"

Despite his contributions, Scott retired from the league at the end of the following season, splitting only 12 games between the Arizona Coyotes and Montreal Canadiens. However, it seems he may be back to make a return to the NHL for the team. In a recent edition of the Dropping The Gloves Podcast, Scott implied that Sharks fans can expect an upcoming appearance from both hosts in San Jose.
"You know where else you might see us? San Jose fans, keep an eye out for this. Should I not mention it? It might not be public. I shouldn't say it yet. I am going to save it, but keep an eye out in San Jose for me, and maybe Tim, we'll see how it goes."
While it may be nice to have a return to the league by a San Jose favorite, at nearly 42 years old with a large family, it seems unreasonable to suspect that John Scott will play another season with the Sharks. Given his life in Michigan, it could even be difficult for him to appear as a regular broadcaster, leading many to believe he will only be attending an upcoming ceremony.
"Re: John Scott, my guess is he's gonna come for Jumbo's ceremony, not the broadcasting spot. I don't think he can travel to SJ often with his family back home and I doubt he wants to move back to SJ; he sounds very happy in Michigan. But the ceremony would be awesome!"
Though he is not likely going to play for the Sharks, San Jose fans will certainly be excited for whatever John Scott has in store for them. With how last season went for the team, hopefully, it brings back the mojo of the players to give them a better record.
