Jarret Stoll has a drug conviction. In the USA. Didn't stop him from getting a contract from the NY Rangers.

And yes, you can't force a player into rehab. The NHL/NHLPA drug program says after a drug arrest a player is automatically entered into a rehab program and if a player refuses to go into rehab, the player will be suspended and will only be re-instated after completing a valid rehab program and the league decides to re-instate him.
