Suspension appeals in sports are usually automatic through the players union per CBA rules
and I'd bet a large sum of money on Buttman intentionally dragging his feet on this so Willy serves a big part of this even when the appeal is successful

Last year in preseason Wily got suspended twice, once for 1 preseason game and once for the first 4 games of the season.
the first one for 1 game, forgot it was were he decked Jashin ...
the second hit for 4 games, which happens about once a week during regular season. I don't seem to recall anyone else getting suspended for it last year.
the Ashton Reese hit, which was beaten to death here a couple months ago. In the league explanation they pretty much said Willy didn't do anything wrong, but still got suspended for hitting to hard, that and shitsburgh cried about it
the recient Sunquist hit...
Willy shouldn't have been trying this in preseason but he only plays at one speed. I can't really fault him for that. looking at last seasons hits, and the league clearly picking on him, there is no way he should have the habitual tag, which is what got him 20. Beyond that, the DPoS has been highly inconsistent when handing down suspensions. I'm posting these to refresh memories and to compare with the hits we will see throughout the league this year, we will see who gets suspended for what, but I suspect there won't be any
I don't see this much differently from when the league picked on OV for playing too physically and suspended him twice. Am I wrong?

The NHLPA did the automatic appeal. As I noted, I'm sure it's part of every sports CBA. And Willy is in Europe playing right now, to keep his legs and to get away from the media

I don’t know whether you were speaking in jest when you said Willy was playing in Europe but in fact Wilson is able to and does practice with the team. He does extra work with the players who are going to be scratched.
