As per TSN

Never a great player - but always a good one. 20 + years in the league. See ya Mellanby!

Kind of sucks the warrior didn't get to win a Cup.

It sure does. The "Rat man" should have gone home with a ring somewhere along the way. He made a career out of making expansion teams good squads.
The effort and desire of this guy was questionned early on (Phi, Edm) but sure could not be later in his career. Will miss Scott on the ice, although I think I saw exactly two Atlanta games this season.

Always sad to see good or great players retire without a ring!!!!

Good luck in your life after hockey, Scott!!!

I think that guys like Mellanby are naturals for coaching/management of some sort. It is a bummer he'll retire without having his name engraved on the Cup but he won't be forgotten for his dedication to and leadership on teams he was involved with.
