This should go nowhere, as experts will be able to prove that the player missed his first check, went off-balance and - when he tried to stay upright - accidentally cut Adam's neck.
The only thing driving charges are the anti-intellectualists who can't be bothered to find the video and go through it frame by frame ... so facts get drown out by stupidity and conspiracy BS.
Either that, or he hits a divot in the ice, which...different path to the same outcome (i.e., I'm not disagreeing). It will be interesting to see where this investigation goes. I can't corroborate it personally, but I believe I saw that Petgrave had been kicked out of a league for unsporting behaviour prior to this (e.g., because of dirty hits, etc.).
I dont think that anyone sane is arguing that it was an assassination or anything.
Watching the video though it looks more like he throws his leg out behind in an attempt to trip Johnson and overextends himself. Off balance his leg comes up and disaster occurs. Something akin to negligent homicide maybe. No intent but in doing something dumb and dangerous it caused someone's death.
