There is no chance at all that something like this would happen.

The NHL took a pick away from the New Jersey Devils for the Kovalchuk contract. Although, that was obviously for cap circumvention and not off-ice conduct.
If it turns out that the Flames knew about this or there were future incidents that occurred while Peters was with the Flames, I believe the Flames would at least get a hefty fine. Especially if this becomes a media ####storm.
