Yeah I don't get this at all why they would ask and why he would cooperate. The incident happened on the ice so I don't see how his phone records should be relevant. This isn't like deflate gate where orchestrated shenanigans happened off the field.
IMO I believe there's not much doubt he did it on purpose. However I question his mental state after taking a big hit moments earlier. It is what it is now as they are almost half way through the suspension so the NHLPA appealing isn't going to accomplish much.
