It speaks to whatever happened. It isn't likely something minor or trivial. If it was, someone would complain about the unfairness of it all...
It'll be interesting to see how far it follows these players. The goalie is at the end of his junior career and undrafted. Likely the end of the road for him anyhow. Wanner signed a deal with the Oilers though. I wonder where he ends up. The Oilers are about the least concerned organization with reputations though so we'll see.

Strong disagree. It speaks to how worried the organization is about the backlash. That is no longer correlated with the action. No one complains about people being screwed now, except lone voices on ignored corners of the internet, lest the fear that motivates an organization land on them.
Vigilante justice usually works like this.

This isn't vigilante justice. The players did something. They got caught or reported. They accepted a significant punishment. At any point if they feel they've been wronged, they all have a voice and people would be interested to hear what happened, but none have said anything. The coach and GM have also said nothing.
The law isn't the only justice consequence out there for people's actions. People probably should know that.

vig·i·lan·te
noun
a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.
It is the literal definition of vigilante justice.
It is telling that you choose not to understand that and you think silence is a sign of guilt. The mob does usually think they're entitled to act as they do.

You seem to believe that someone has only done wrong if the police charge them with a crime and they’re convicted. That’s obviously not the case though. There’s a million examples we can use. Your employer can fire you for anything they believe brings their company in to disrepute. If you’re lucky they’ll say it is without cause and they’ll severance you, but depending on what you did and what your employment contract allows the employer to do or prohibits you from doing, you might not even get that.
Hell, in hockey there’s a couple guys who are non-cops who are constantly handing out punishments without even a chance for appeal most of the time.
One’s actions can always have consequences even if your actions are deemed not to be criminal.

I don't think suspensions should be handed out preemptively because a group of people are carrying pitchforks around the internet. I don't think people should be punished because of an accusation. I don't think people should be punished because of an investigation. And I certainly don't think people should be punished because they choose to keep their mouths shut.
I am well aware actions have consequences, but that's not what this happening here and that's not what we've seen in the (hockey) world for the last number of years. In this case, and many others like it, action and reaction have been decoupled because of the moralizing mob. You're right though, people can be fired because of actions that happen outside of work. I'm honestly surprised the coach and GM are only being fired here because actions have consequences. Something not even one's own actions, but we all have to be ok with it. Lest the mob notice us.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
