IANAL, but I believe the Kings would be free to terminate Voynov's contract at any time for the same reasons. The key difference from LA's perspective however is that Voynov still has value as a player, Richards does not. If you're looking for a principled stand by a sports team, don't hold your breath. The only two ways the Kings are likely to move to terminate Voynov's contract are if he is convicted or if public demands to do so reaches a tipping point.
