I can only come to the conclusion the NHL felt Kassain was important for the Oilers playoff drive. I have no doubt that getting McDavid in the playoffs played a role in this decision. The guy just got suspended two weeks ago and gets a slap on the wrist for actions that were incredibly dangerous. We have to remember at the end of the day that the NHL is still a business and they make decisions based on the greater good of the business and in their minds they need the best player in the game to participate in the playoffs.
