The notion that certain players who aren't as good at hockey should be suspended for longer for the same infraction than guys who are stars is precisely what's wrong - well, one of many things wrong - with NHL supplemental discipline.

I don't mean he sucks at hockey (he does, but irrelevant). I meant that he sucks because he seems to headhunt players (other than the Kessel incident and this hit I don't know any other examples, but that's two in less than a month). If Sidney Crosby blatantly elbowed people in the head and tried to fight players a foot shorter and 100 pounds lighter than him I'd say he had no place in the NHL either. This type of player needs to be removed from the game.
