You are a representative in the NHL Players Association, responsible for ensuring the integrity of the game and supporting rules that maintain/increase the fan base. Under current rules, a player who receives a game misconduct penalty is suspended for the remainder of the game and is sent to the team's dressing room. The player also incurs a $200 fine. There are additional fines and suspensions outlined for incurring multiple game misconducts. With a match penalty, the offending player is indefinitely suspended from the league pending a decision by the commissioner. While the penalty seems straight-forward, it has not deterred intentional violence on the ice. Using the following info, propose what you believe to be the best solution to the problem of intentional violence among NHL players. Contract details:

The average base salary for a center=$3,063,873

Salary increase for a physically dominant player= $300,000

Penalty for unnecessary violence ("boarding") when detected=$100 fine and suspension for one (or more) games

Detection rate: referees continually monitor players for intentional misconduct on the ice.
