Can't have your cake and eat it too but the Kings tried and likely failed here.

You keep saying this, but maybe the first "problem" was addressed by the team in private (NHL Drug Program) and he screwed up again on his last chance, in a very public way that damages the teams reputation. In cases like these it is very important to wait for all the information. If he is being terminated in an illegal way he will win, if he screwed up AGAIN then the Kings will be vindicated.
