From @NHLPlayerSafety video: “While there are aspects of this hit that may skirt the line between suspendable and not suspendable, it is the totality of the circumstances that cause this play to merit supplemental discipline.”

The league announced the decision late Saturday night and many have called it a 'light' suspension given Wilson's history.
Here's the play, you be the judge....7 or more?
