I understand what you're saying, but I don't think you get such clear knee-on-knee contact unless you're reckless and have basically missed the hit you were intending to make.
Reckless can still be dangerous regardless of intent.
Pospisil has been suspended for similarly reckless play to (arguably) send the message home. I think similar should be done here.
