With all these suspensions starting, are enforcers gonna be pointless?

Honestly, the NHL is getting their crap together and if Shanahan takes his job seriously, which it looks like, the Gillies and heavyweight enforcers of the NHL will be pointless(if they weren't already argued semi-useless and bad hockey players). It really looks like the NHL enforcer is going to become useless or eventually suspended out of the league. If Gillies did what he did last year to Tangradi and Clutterbuck, I don't think we'd have him to start this season due to suspensions, I'm not even sure we'd have him for 1/2 the season this year. It looks like we finally get some justice, gonna love to see how this plays out during the season.
