This whole situation is a mess but lets not pretend that Kane is undeserving of his team mates reprisals.

That is fine. Kane is at fault for breaking team rules and should be punished by the organization if that is the case.
If his teammates want to do something as well, they should do something, but in what way is it acceptable to throw somebody's clothes in the garbage, chop up their clothes, or throw them in the shower.
If as United said it wasn't the first time it clearly wasn't working and the message wasn't getting through.
Whether it is the accepted norm in hockey, or if Kane deserved it is irrelevant.
IMO it is childish and despicable behaviour and it is something the team should have stepped in to prevent long before this incident.
Could you see this flying in our locker room with Gio, Hartley, Burke (a big anti bullying advocate) and Trevliving in charge? Doubtful, and if it had happened I doubt it would have lasted long enough to reach such a boiling point.
