Spoiler!


IF Richards was in the NHL's rehab program and violated the program, then the most that could have happened to him was he would have gotten suspended without pay.

This incident would also be the first time he would have failed the rehab program (if he was ever in it) as he was never suspended before.
Isn't the speculation that he was caught with enough on him to be charged with trafficking? Who cares if he's I the substance abuse program if he's wandering around with large amounts of drugs. Makes this more about the Kings not wanting to keep a drug trafficker on their pay role vs. how they are handling an addict.
