Had an idea!
|
Not sure why the NHL let him still play after the last one. What exactly does he contribute to the league?
Nothing.

Kadri 4 games for hit to the head (E=NG still)
Rinaldo 8 games for charging/boarding/hit from behind after "seeing only Letang's numbers for considerable time and distance"
Volchenkov 4 games for hit to the head (Ferland)
Going to be dependent on the severity of the injury as always and based on past history.
Most likely 25-30 games.

Player A suspended for hit on Player B:
1) Player A's pay during suspension is forfeited to Player B
2) Player A's team suplements pay to Player B by some % depending on number of suspensions given to players on that team in recent seasons

41 games. Excellent. Repeat offenders like Torres deserve this. Glad the hammer was dropped.

I like the suspension but we will see how much gets taken off when the NHLPA appeals. Does the NHL have the power to hand out a lifetime suspension? I doubt it.

That's stupid. This tells players they can throw 10 dirty hits in a couple of years and only face a 41 game suspension on the 10th hit. Ban him already

Guy is a major d-bag of a hockey player and the sooner him and his ilk (hello Matt Cooke) are officially out of the league, the better.

Wow. Good job NHL.
Sever, but not severe enough to land them in PA hot water.
The Wheel of Justice got it just about right this time.
I dont know about any of you but I was surprised Raffi was still in the NHL.

In my opinion, this spells basically a lifetime ban for him. The club doesn't want to keep a guy who obviously never learned his lesson and so at the end of the suspension, they'll likely assign him to the minors and no other club will touch him ever after.
That was probably his last game in the NHL.

Didn't play at all last year. And only a handful of games the year before.

The NHLPA would look like idiots to appeal this - given Torres is out trying to purposely shorten or end the careers of other NHLPA players.
