Cocaine isn't a banded drug by the NHL. There will be no suspension

Yeah, I dont think there will be a suspension, though as a Ranger fan I'm ok if there is (just kidding, I think). More likely they make him go to some kind of counseling, and if he doesn't keep up or has another incident with drugs, then they may suspend him. But hopefully it never comes to that.

Mostly agree. Probably keep Copley at backup on the fantastic contract he agreed to, and move Siegenthaler to 4R.

It's illegal tho /:

NHL drug tests every player and I’m sure this drug shows up in hundreds of players test. They dgaf. Coke is illegal to have on you not in you. just saying

This post is pointless. Kuzy doesn’t get suspended bc nobody cares about coke just PEDS.

The league may demand he goes for rehab but they won't suspend him and he's already stated he's going to rehab. Nothing more will come from this.

I understand what you are saying...but gotta admit this is pretty messed up that one can arrested etc...for having it but if it's inside you it's perfectly okay from a being arrested standpoint.

Not really it’s common sense. And it’s coke not heroine. Coke is basically a stronger version of adderal which doctors give to adults and children. It’s a drug that the upper class uses on a regular basis. It’s not crack it’s coke. Yeah it’s sucks that he does it but it’s not nearly as serious as people want it to be.

he could overdose tho...

Same risk as a player drinking too much alcohol.... alcohol poisoning or what not. All hypotheticals

Well they can actually suspend for other reasons, like personal conduct reasons (like lying about it after the video dropped). Will they? I doubt it, but it isn't a fact that he can't be suspended.

It's not pointless. Kuznetsov could still get suspended. Remember last year with Nate Schmidt. He got a harsh suspension for low levels. It is just a hypothetical in case he does.

Ugh........”nobody cares about coke JUST PEDS” Schmidt got suspended for PEDS! Not narcos come on man I literally explained this already.

My guess: he starts the year on LTIR, and McMichael gets nine games before returning to juniors.

Where does Kuznetsov go, during those nine games? No idea. No idea at all. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/08/21/mexico-court-allows-recreational-cocaine-use-two-people/2075100001/
