I am thinking that the suspension is broken down as 3-5 games for this hit, plus some bonus time for being a frequent guest at the NHL offices - which is not a bad thing.
it will be itneresting to see how he changes his game to adapt to what may be a new reality. This could be his last NHL contract

The video describes how the player is fair game when they cut back into the centre of the ice...but this was still an illegal hit because the main point of contact is the head and there was ample time for a better path to be taken so it was a clean body on body hit.
