Doesn't belong in the league unless he learns how to stay within the rules.

What if he is sent down which is more likely since he is an awful player? He should playing in the ECHL if anything.

Kick them all out.
Don't need players that think that injuring a player is part of the job

And why has he still not realized hitting from behind is dangerous and illegal?

This is comedy gold.
Your team signed Reaves to deal with Tom Wilson after the "horrifying acts of violence" that had Rangers fans and the front office rending garments and clutching pearls

I'm luke warm on this. I wanted 10 games but expected the NHL to only give him like 5 games or so. 8 games makes me sort of content. Shitty hit by a shitty player.
That's because 99% of hf essentially agrees it was a bad hit.
I recall some Rangers fans claiming he was good because his analytics looked good over a couple game sample size with very few minutes played and using it to justify him being in the lineup.
The sample size is now more robust and his underlying numbers are awful. What is the justification now?

Agreed. Hit to hurt, not to injure. It's a fine line, but players need to know where it is.
Whats funny (in a not funny sense of the word) is id argue Rempe wasn't trying to hit to injure on this play. He's just a dumbass and that's exactly what he did.

Kid's now been suspended for over half the amount of games he's actually played.

There is no number of games suspension that fits that behaviour. That is what he is there for and every day of NHL salary is his reward. Without that he never sees the NHL at all.
There needs to be punishment for the coach, GM and team that put him out there. Suspend the coach for as many games as the player gets. Fine the GM that many days pay. Team forfeits 1st rd draft picks.

Reaves played 900 games and has been suspended 4 times. Rempe has played 22 games and been suspended twice. Reaves doesn’t go out and intentionally try to injure players while playing a heavy game. The acts are not what determined the two suspension lengths here.

No, he got suspended for multiple violations. They're not the same hit no matter how hars you try to make them comparable. The argument that Rempe should have received a suspension for that hit is a different argument.
