Bertuzzi Suspension

[DeeBye]

I'm a fan of the injury based suspension simply due to that matter. We'd still see fights and whatnot, but people getting seriously hurt would go way down if the attacker missed (without pay) the same amount of time the attackee did. Or maybe if the attackers missed pay went to the attackee. *shrugs* All sorts of room for improvement, I think.

I can see one flaw in the "injury based suspension" argument.

What if a an injury-prone player or a player that is still recovering from a previous injury is hit hard? I'm thinking of a player like Lindros or Roenick. A "questionable hit" against either of these two guys might put them out for good, whereas the same hit versus a younger and healthier player would likely be shrugged off.

Punishing someone with a lifetime suspension for injuring a proven injury-prone player that is nearly retired seems wrong to me.
