• Sheahan got a super DUI while wearing a Tele Tubby costume and using B Smith's ID. Bobby Ryan was a recovering alcoholic.
• Kane beat up a cabbie. Sprong one upped him by beating up a Formula 1 driver.
• Kuz's teammate Vrana was also a drug addict (confirmed now), but Stevie did trade him away.
• Austin Watson was arrested for abusing his girlfriend and was suspended by the NHL
• In more distant history, there's Uncle Todd (Bertuzzi), Dino (The Capital's limo incident), and Probbie who had all kinds of issues.

Alcoholism and drug addictions are are considered mental illness, and I don't think teams need to shy away from players as long as they receive proper treatment. Sexual abuse, domestic violence, and racism should never be tolerated. Signing Watson shows that Stevie is willing to deal with some character issues. The incident happened in Oct 2018, so less than 7 years ago.

Hell of a thread. I mean prospect.
