Spreewell was suspended 68 games. And you really can’t compare the severity of the two situations to assess appropriate punishment,
In Spreewell’s case the incident happened at work, and he assaulted his boss. In this situation the NBA became the primary dispenser of punishment for an on-the-job transgression.
In Voynov’s case the incident had no connections to work, and the NHL is dispensing secondary punishment simply because Voynov made the league look bad with his off ice actions.
Oh I agree, just that was another suspension for over half a season. It's just that domestic violence (not necessarily in this case) could end up being much worse than that incident
