RDOilerfan wrote on Wed, 22 January 2020 16:31 | The question I have is could the Oilers do anything even if they wanted too? The league suspended him immediately for 5 games. The Oilers organization support it. They made a statement. They could just not dress him for the rest of the year and I don't think anyone can do anything about it. All they have to do is say coaches decision for who he wants to play. But if they decided we want to set an example and suspend him more, would they even be allowed?
I am guessing they can't terminate his contract or suspend him with no pay because the Union would grieve it.

If the Kings could try and terminate Mike Richard’s contract for smuggling pills for personal use, that really only reflects on the individual, then I think the Oilers could react to the racial slur. The comment resonates with many minorities. I know I’d face a possible termination if my job if I used a racial slur against someone. We have a conduct code and I imagine the NHL has one worked into every standard contract.
I don’t think many people would support Manning if he was fired. The NHLPA would likely fight for job if he were terminated and would likely accept a team suspension as an alternate punishment.

I think the Richards situation is a little different because I believe he was caught at the border trying to smuggle in pills which is a criminal offense. Maybe it wasn't a major crime but it was still breaking the law. Manning calling someone a name, even though he shouldn't be doing that isn't going to land you in jail.
