8 games is pretty retarded, imo. If you look at some of the suspensions around the same length in the past, the plays seem a lot worse than Kassian's. Yes, he injured Gagner, yes, he was reckless, but 8 games? C'mon.
This check straight to the head got 8 games.
6 games.
2 games.
5 games.
I dunno, seems a bit off to me.
With Kassian / Jensen / Schroeder / Booth all possibly out to start the season, there looks to be an opening in the top 6. Will be up to whoever gets the chance to take it and run with it.
