I think the smartest thing in this situation would be for the NHL to simply deny his application for re-instatement. Better for everyone, as he will simply not be able to play at the NHL level. Deny him re-entry, and save everyone a lot of time, effort, and embarassment. There are way too many athletes hanging on too long these days. Chelios, Lemieux, Favre. I know it's their choice, but I'd much rather players do what Sakic did...retire before you're over the hill and become fodder for 24 hrs sports media. Better to burn out than to fade away.
If it wasn't for the alcohol he'd be in the HOF for sure. He was a little guy playing a big man's game in the old "clutch and grab" NHL, and he was afraid of nobody.Quote:
