I know the Isles are left bottom trolling for talent, but to make a big deal of a minor goon like this clown is ridiculous. I am not heartless, I feel bad for his dad, but that should have nothing to do with it.
Bettman and the NHL are clearly against fighting (no matter what they say) so to let a former drug addict in just to make a dying man happy is insane. I don't know if they noticed, but Sugden was banned from a minor league for attacking a fan! The only thing Sugden is capable of doing on the ice is hurting players with actual skill. The NHL had psychos like him before - John Kordic, Link Gaetz, etc. - and have clearly discouraged one-dimensional maniacs since. So why now? Does the league really miss Chris Simon's inexcusable acts that they will allow another homicidal barbarian to join their ranks?
This is a tremendous mistake and I eagerly await the first Islanders/Penguins game so this lunatic can injure the NHL's golden child and give the league what they deserve.

Scotty... no one said he would actually MAKE the team, it was just unfair that he wasn't given the opportunity to TRY. That's what everyone was asking for. Just the opportunity.
C'mon D, he had the opportunity to play professional hockey. He blew it, and they gave him a second chance when they overturned his LIFETIME suspension. Then he blew it again when he turned his back on the game to go home. That's it, done is done. Why does he get chance after chance, who is he, Billy Tibbets??
Um... the Rangers used to employ Simon (albeit a brief time), McCarty, Purinton and that psycho Cloutier. They didn't attack fans, but they weren't the best role models either.
Hey Scotty, I checked out the goon league web site, it is in a foreign language. Do they have an english translation. It looks like a "GOON" league.
You're an idiot, this guy is fighting for his dying dad, and you're calling him "clown",etc? Sugden is a legend while you're just another stupid and heartless internet-clown.
