He's back for basically the entire playoffs, so it's almost like free player "load management". The NBA has now made it illegal to rest the starters before the playoffs.
If the NHL wanted to show some balls, they would have banned him for the whole season. If he was caught with actual PEDs (as opposed to a recreational drug or prescription), that should have been the actual punishment, at a minimum. He'll still have gains from the PEDs in a couple of months FFS.
