I just got a call from Brandon Sugden. Bill Daly called him earlier tonight and said he spoke with the teams that were blocking his removal from the retirement list and that they’ve all agreed to unblock him.

When I asked him how he felt, Sugar said it’s a huge weight off of his shoulders and he’s looking forward to attending Islanders training camp, which starts Thursday in Moncton, New Brunswick. He added that he has every intention on making the team and he feels he can help the Islanders.

The red tape has been cut, and the real hard part begins for Sugden, now 30, about to go to what he believes is the best opportunity he’s ever had to make an NHL team.

Sugar is appreciative of all the support from friends, fans and the media and didn’t have enough positive words to say about the character of NHL deputy commissioner Daly.

Good luck to him.
