I completely agree in regards to on-going interactions, a Prout our Peluso can't be the answer to that. For me though, we have a fairly unique situation coming up in our next game. Interesting that all the outrage is coming from the North on Saturday's game, but truth be told, the only player that took any cheap shots on Saturday was Tkachuk himself.
Slew foot by Dri.........Chucky or one of our regular players needs to deal with that, or choose to leave it alone. As for our leading point getter being jump by essentially a pure goon, that requires different treatment, given it's happened now.
Peluso or Prout need to be dressed, and they need to be on the ice or jump on the ice the first time Kassian is on, and force the fight. Drag Kassian off the ice for 5mins or more, make sure his face and knuckles are a little raw so that it's know that can't happen without a price to be payed, and moving forward in that game, he'll be a little more tender so that his ability to engage anyone else in scraps is reduced.
