I don't see how you couldn't reinstate him after all that. Maybe a years suspension would be justifiable, but I'd think it's tough to blackball a guy if he takes the right steps.

Additionally, the league should be auditing the LA organization, 3 incidents in a couple months, there may need to be some cultural changes in that locker room.
The cultural change needs to come from the league, not just one team. If you are under the impression that drug abuse isn't an issue for players on every single team in the league, you're being naive. It starts in Juniors and gets worse once these guys have large salaries and plenty of money to spend to feed their habit. Sure, two Kings players got caught, within months of each other, but every locker room in the league has this problem to varying degrees.
