This just makes the suspension appeal process even more of a joke than it was before. You've set out a process but because you didn't like the outcome you're now adding a 4th step to the process which is a lawsuit.
I understand that this is their legal right to do so, I'm not arguing that. Why even have the whole process to begin with if the NHL is just going to be pissy when it doesn't get its way and take it to a judge? Just send every review to a judge from the beginning. I know that's a ridiculous suggestion but that's basically what you're now turning the process into if a player should ever come out on top.
