Is this Wideman saga over? Some suggesting #NHL option on ruling may include looking into an appeal process through federal court.

It's not really my area, but I think the only way to appeal the arbitrators' decision (unless there's a right of further appeal in the CBA, which I doubt) is to claim he acted outside of his jurisdiction/terms of reference. I suppose if he said in his decision that there was an intent to injure but he was still imposing a penalty which is less than directed by the CBA, they could possibly make that argument.
