The elbow/charging conversation isn’t what makes the hit illegal or legal.
Was contact with the head avoidable? That could be debated. Was it the main point of contact? It looks from a distant to possibly be, and given that the refs reviewed it I imagine they had an angle that showed it was.
Pospisil’s (well earned) reputation makes me think it could possibly be a suspension. The lack of injury probably weighs into it though, and could mean no suspension.
