And yes, he gets a hearing - that is why it is currently an indefinite suspension. It is pending that hearing. I suspect it will be an in-person hearing, and that is why it will wait until after the All-Star break.
To my mind, the only question now is if he gets 10 games (probable) or 20 (smaller chance).

Or zero games, which seems the most likely for what could only be an accidental collision.
The NHL is well within thief rights to fully review all of the testimony, and has the time to do so, because of the all star break.
