So from what I can tell, the NHL's Player Assisstance Program provides :

• 
  
• 
  

and then players can just resume their careers when they exit.

The PA (in theory) is supposed to be there to help the players. In this case it sure looks like it was only there to punish the player (suspension with no pay). I doubt he received a lot of help from the PA in Russia.

Don't blow it, Nuke. Snort.

I’d bet on Landy coming back before I’d bet on Nuke not hitting stage 4

 

[EXTRAS]

Would rather he returned next game.

I doubt they can force you to do anything you don't want to do.

If these guys are mad at him, they sure do a good job of covering it up.

Time heals memories. I am sure they will curse him the first time he misses a game for a lame party.

Obviously you are happy when a great player returns.

In reality it's like the dops and concussion protocols. The goal is to show you have a system in place for when you get sued.

Regardless of whether the system in place is actually intended to help anyone.

I'm not sure of course, but I highly doubt all the professions in North America have a union and a program for stuff like this where he still actually gets to keep his contract. In other professions, he would've been fired straight away. He's a very lucky dude.

Obviously they are excited to have him back - he's the only one can can get white powder that MacK won't get mad about

The Nuke is back so I believe it's time to big farewell to this thread. Hopefully we won't have to start up another one.
