It adds up... so if you're caught 8 times, it's going to be totaling close to $30,000.
Heard on TSN, and I think they mentioned as well that there will be public "shaming" on repeat divers. The suspensions are nice in theory, but at the end of the day they aren't really hurting anyone but themselves, and their personal reputation. Where as bad hits actually do hurt people, and that has a bigger consequence with regards to giving the bad reputation to hockey, so those should be suspendable.
