The NHL's CBA calls for multi-million dollar fines and the loss of top draft picks, so being caught doing something like that in the NHL would theoretically carry a far greater penalty.
I say theoretically, because the NHL has already decided to ignore its own CBA for Lamourello's benefit at least once in the past.
