I sure hope not.

Even if they're not found criminal guilty, after knowing what has transpired it would feel pretty disgusting see them back.
I doubt it. None of the players of consequence enough that teams will want the bad PR that comes along with it. Players on expiring contracts won't be signed. Players with term will likely get bought out. Out of all the rumoured players involved, Carter Hart probably has the most upside and I suppose the Oilers might take him on and spin it as another "redemption story". Other than that, I think the rest have all played their last NHL game.
