Yes, eligible to apply for reinstatement, but has to be approved by the league. Then, he has to practice with the team and get into game shape.

I'm guessing you don't see him in the lineup until the first part of December.
He better freaking show up in game shape after everything he's put this team through. Imagine he shows up fat and gets winded after 15 seconds.

You know that he's going to take a month to get back to normal (sober) Nuke. Problem is that we need Nuke hitting the nose candy hard to get us out of this hole.

I think that should be the least of our concern. Nuke was phenomenal after f***ing his team over in Seattle and his drive and work ethic has never been in question. That, and Nuke at 70% would do more good for this team than a fair amount of the guys playing in the top-6 atm.

I really hope for he and his families sake that he’s able to stay sober. He’s a remarkable blend of talent and work ethic when he’s on the ice, but he’s also got a young family he needs to be thinking of.

From a fan perspective, I’d love to see what he could do long-term beside Mitts. I think a Koby-Mitts-Nuke line would be a real pain to play against
