They could suspend him from the NHL.. It would be a symbolic move really but arguably symbols are important. The guy is toxic so a one year suspension has no practical effect on him, but it would give the league a chance to say something.
IMO a lifetime ban would be harsh unless it was coupled with some ability to apply for reinstatement after a period of time.
I would presume the league has this authority to discipline coaches. I don’t really know but certainly coaches have been fined and disciplined in the past.
