I think Kerry Fraser analyzed it correctly. No intent to injure, was probably not paying attention, saw him at the last second, and like any well trained defenseman, laid out a solid crosscheck instinctively. He height he put his hands is exactly where a person surprised by an imminent collision puts them.

I think he'll get 10 games if the league uses rule 40, 5 if they don't.

I think he should get 3-5 games as it's ultimately his responsibility to pay attention while on the ice, even if he's distracted by a sore neck and shoulder
