I suspect there are some teams where it could easily have happened, and some where it probably couldn't. And that is not a matter of luck, but of the team's priorities.
Some organizations treat their employees as human beings, and take care that management acts appropriately. Some don't care about anything except winning, and will hire human scum if they think it will give them a short-term edge.
I don't know where every team falls on that spectrum, but the last few months have made it pretty obvious that Chicago and Montreal are both near the hire-human-scum end of the scale. Whereas the Flames, from the prompt and decisive way they handled the Peters incident (even though it left them with Geoff Ward as coach, which was not a winning move), appear to be closer to the other end.
