I think you are underestimating the severity of this punishment, not that I don't agree I'd like to have seen more, I think the NHL showed a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, especially with a union lurking around and looking for precedence on these type of rulings you can't erase all the mistakes of the past (talking about the NHL being to light on Torres and others up to this point) on one incident or with one ruling. All you can do is take big steps in the right directions, I'd call this that.
