I'm pretty sure Nuke will play along with whatever gives him the most coin at this point. If he's truly addicted, he's got other priorities than playing. If he's truly committed to sobriety, I've already said it but once again, I personally fear that the lifestyle of the NHL is not helpful to someone who has struggled as mightily as he has. This isn't like Girard, who willingly went to the team and said I need help. This is a guy who got busted in the playoffs, denied he had a problem, got busted a second time and was forced into the program, got busted a third time, again in the playoffs. Completely different levels of addiction and completely different levels of wanting to get straight.
I wish Nuke well and truly hope he gets life figured out because he's got a little daughter who doesn't deserve a deadbeat father, but if he wants to play again I hope like hell it is for someone else.
