To answer my own question, the NHL actually handed out a fine for embellishing about a month ago. They could make a fortune if they just watched the Oilers.

NHL Rule 64 is designed to bring attention to and more seriously penalize players (and teams) who repeatedly dive and embellish in an attempt to draw penalties. Fines are assessed to players and head coaches on a graduated scale outlined below:

Citation #, Player Fine(s), * Head Coach Fine(s)
1, Warning, N/A
2, $2,000, N/A
3, $3,000, N/A
4, $4,000, N/A
5, $5,000, $2,000
6, $5,000, $3,000
7, $5,000, $4,000
8, $5,000, $5,000
