While those are fair processes with regards to pay none of those examples address what I think is the biggest issue. The impact on the team.
Say you have a guy and he's suspended say 10 games he's suspended while the appeal is ongoing and through the first 5 games his team goes 1-3-1, then the appeal is successful and the neutral arbitrator says he shouldn't have been suspended at all and the team misses out on the playoffs by 1 point.
Guys should get to play while the appeal is ongoing. It's asinine that the way the system works that the above situation could happen. It's not fair to the players, the fans, and it's not fair to the franchises.
