Not sure why they mention the history in the video though.

That's only for the money the player forfeits while suspended (Article 18.15 of the CBA).
If it's a player's first offense (or first in 18 months), he forfeits one day's salary per game suspended. They calculate this by determining the number of actual days during the NHL regular season (usually around 185) and dividing the player's total salary (excluding bonuses) by that number.
For a repeat offender, he forfeits one game's salary per game suspended. This being his total salary divided by 82.
Any and all previous discipline can be taken into account when determining the suspension itself.
