While I agree that a DUI/barred entry from the US might be plausible, I think there have been a fair number of cases of that happening, without contract termination. Fairly certain Bob Probert had border issues, not sure with MacTavish, but one would think.
Lombardi doesn't seem like a guy that would dump Richards though, unless it really was bad. He stuck with him, even when they had a chance to use a compliance buy-out.

From HFBoard oiler fan, in analyzing MacT's management:
O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
