Suter will never be scratched
Smith and his agents should hold their ground. You shouldn't be able to void guarantees for something that happens on the field. The player is already losing game checks if he gets suspended and that's more than enough punishment.
Is the easy middle ground to offer to reclaim money for every on field related suspension except the helmet rule? Or maybe just have a one or two season moratorium to say we won't go after you for this first season while the league is still working out how to enforce the new rule?
