Matt Cooke once went 3 years without a suspension.Honestly, Wilson hadn't had a suspension since 2018 and has played much cleaner for quite some time.
Didn't think he deserved 7 for this hit, but certainly given his history I understand it. I would have done 3-4 myself if making the call.
But also like Matt Cooke, Wilson has had multiple plays since his last suspension that were very close to being suspendable also.
I'm not saying Wilson is quite in Cooke's category here, but he definitely hasn't been angelic this whole time.
