A players salary that's forfeited once in the program is used to help fund the program per this in the CBA:
However I think that's for PED's. Article 47 is "Performance Enhancing Substances Program". However, 47.4(b) Says "Drugs of Abuse". So I think drugs are also covered under Article 47.47.12 Program Funding. Any salary forfeited by a Player by reason of a suspension imposed
pursuant to Section 47.7 will be utilized to help defer the costs of both the Program and the
SABH Program. All costs of administering the Program, including the costs associated with
mandatory no-notice testing, shall be the responsibility of the NHL.
Anywayyss...Ryan's Salary forfeited due to this is gonna be good for the program?
He left practice early on Monday. So guess he felt like he hit his rock bottom. Glad he's entered the program. Guys had injuries the last few yrs, wouldn't be a shocker if he had an opioid problem

Man that is tough to hear. Hope he gets well.
I would think at this point the Player Assistance program is not limited to drug use. I could be wrong though.

I hope he can get back to his happy place (without the aid of any substances):
