Why didn't his lawyer appeal the indefinite suspension already then?

And this isn't a court of law where you hire a lawyer to argue a technicality. If a "lawyer" (which I assume you mean the NHLPA) appeals the suspension, the case will just be seen Bettman (if it's less than 6 games) or another mediator who will make a subjective ruling.
