Resolute's post is a great example.
They filed to have the contract terminated and the League agreed. Theres likely going to be a grievance but if the Kings lose that grievance they've likely:
- Exceeded the cap illegally for the summer
- Missed the buyout window
- Missed the waiver window
- Missed opportunities to trade him
Those are some pretty serious consequences so I disagree that theres no risk for the Kings because it looks like if they lose their grievance they are likely stuck not only with Richards' cap hit and money but also a pretty disgruntled player on their main roster.

Arbitrator may, award them a new window, and perhaps reduce the cap penalties somewhat due to the short time frame they had available to trade Richards contract, AND to buy him out -- where were impacted in the immediate time-frame by his border crossing conundrum.
