This is about Bettman “teaching Willy a lesson.” Especially since the arbitrator reduced his last one. He will probably go for as many as 10 and then it will be reduced to 5 or 6.

Oh he will. He'll get at least 5 games. The refs ensured that. All match penalties get automatic suspension review. Because Wilson is not only a repeat offender, but also was only just recently returning from a long suspension where he had a careless head shot lead to injury, that was in fact predatory, nobody not even us can deny that. The hit he was last suspended for was a bad hockey hit and doesn't belong in the game.
So now all the NHL needs to do is make sure it meets the "technicalities" of the rule standards. Because Wilson is boned, and now a repeat offender, it's less "let's hope Wilson stays clean" and more an inevitability. In 2 seasons time, Tom Wilson will no longer be playing in the NHL. Mark my words. I think he has the compete and hustle to don't get me wrong, but now that he has that predatory hit in the pre-season on his ledger, it isn't going to take much in the ways of cheap or even cheap "lite" plays by Wilson for them to throw the book at him due to history.

Actually I’ll argue against that. That was not predatory. A player skating away from a player backskating into him is not predatory.
