Wouldn't be surprised if Melnyk got fined.
Cherry has never shied away from saying something controversial or against party lines. He's also not employed by the NHL, so unless Rogers wants to come down on him I think he's safe.

I can see where he might defend it (routine whack on the hands gone wrong) and where he might condemn it (player safety has been a sticking point for him in the past re: soft cap padding, kevlar socks, extended glove cuffs).
