If any of these players get banned/fired/terminated, you can bet they would sue, and they would win IMO. You can't just terminate someone like that. That's why the Bill Peters thing was convoluted and he "resigned" and was not fired.
Oh, I’m sure they’d get whatever is remaining on their contract, but that will likely be the last one they get.

It’s not the same as getting fired. They work on a contractual basis with set term limits. Once that term is over they’re under no obligation to give you another contract. You can’t legally force the NHL to give a player a contract.
