Yeah the NHL did their investigation after Watson plead no contest in court.

Also sets a standard for a suspension should Voynov be allowed to return. If Voynov is going to miss a similar amount of games it will reduce his trade value for the kings and lower leverage in contract talks.

edit: also wonder if Watson appeals. He has nothing to lose if he does and probably the NHLPA will want him to.
