There should be a big distinction between plays where the person was trying to make a hockey play that went wrong (like a hit to the head) which may still warrant suspension, and a play where the only purpose was to try to injure the opponent with no role in the play. They should penalize the latter very severely.

I think it is a fair debate about whether 10 games was enough, but we can't act like this isn't severe punishment. This is the biggest suspension for on-ice conduct since September of 2018. The vast majority of suspensions for 'hockey plays gone wrong' are in the 1-4 game range, so this is a pretty clear recognition that this wasn't just a hockey play gone wrong.
This is double what Reaves recently got for a really bad check to the head and Reaves also has a decent history. This is 2 games more than what Rempe just got. At the time of Rempe's 8 gamer, it was his 4th ejection and 2nd suspension in just 22 NHL games.
Again, it is a fair argument that Hartman should have gotten more than 10 games, but this is very much a major suspension by the NHL and a recognition that this play was one of the worst (if not the worst) on-ice incidents in the last 5 years.

I just don't think 10 games is enough. Is it severe? Sure but should be more. You have to make extreme examples out of this kind of shit.
I totally agree with you, the only thing I thought it should be more is the intent and he does have a bad history on that. even though he will miss games and $$$, a fine could be in order as well. To give a check that goes wrong is one thing, replay definitely shows his follow through was intent. No place in any sport for that!

That had Bertuzzi-Moore all over it. Hartman better be thankful he didn’t completely follow through.
