The NHL rejected his appeal and then the PA went to independent arbitration for an appeal but that took so long it was mostly a waste of time (except for the loss of pay).
So if a player gets one or two games in the playoffs and they appeal, it's a waste of time. The NHL will either immediately reject it or delay anyway.

Yep and Bettman was the smarmiest prick about it too. Man, I have never wanted to throw hands at someone more.
