Where is the option to ban Cooke forever?? Between this and the Karlsson incident it could be argued he should have to hang em up for good. With all the other shenanigans he has pulled throughout his career he definitely shouldn't be allowed back.

100% agree....What a worthless piece of sh*t he is. I love hockey, and I love people who play a hard nosed game. You gotta love guys like Oshie, Benn, Lucic....etc. Guys that are mean and tough, but also have the talent to match and deserve to be in the show...Even the idea of bringing in a sh*head like Cooke, who's only purpose to exist is to go out and hurt players that can actually play the game is just sad and embarrassing to the sport. Tyson Barrie might not have the status of a Crosby or a Getzlaf, but this is a kid who dedicated his life to training, dieting, waking up at 6am to hit the gym just to have his career ripped away by an intentional dirty play.
I think a lot of the consequence to these incidence should fall on the teams shoulders. And not some 10,000$ fine that these billionaire owners wipe their asses with, but losing draft picks or deducting points in the standing to make sure that the teams knows that dressing one of these idiots is just as dangerous to them as it it to the other team and players.
