Maybe. I think it should have been ten games myself, but if the Rangers successfully convinced Bettman that this was actually a rule 40.4 violation rather than 40.3, the league had the option to reduce the suspension to three games, which would have amounted to time served. Six games is still double that minimum.
Also, It is doubtful that Carcillo's return improves the Rangers on the ice. They were probably better off without him.
