I would leave everything as is as far as in game reffing goes and make it subject to review by nhl head office*. Probably no suspensions, but start handing down hefty fines to get everybody's attention.

*And yes I realize I am supporting giving more power to the old boys club in New York. haha.
Every penalty in hockey is subjective, though.

Handing out fines won't do anything. Teams who dive pile up the powerplays during actual game play and they get rewarded. Handing out fines doesn't hurt........losing hockey games does. Start calling the dives and reward the teams that play the game properly, don't give an edge to players and teams that embellish.
