How many games has Thornton missed? Maybe 3?.. Shanny probably wants to take more time so that he can say "Well Shawn missed 3 or 4 games already, so we'll give him a 6 game suspension" So it will look not as bad on record... Seems like something that would happen
Yeah the games he's missed will already count towards the suspension. That's nothing new. So if today Shanny gives him 10 games that means he's got 7 games left. Nothing will "look better" it would still be a 10 game suspension.
