Looks too young. Hasn't earned the official's respect yet.

Hasn't worked for McD.. beard.. chipped teeth.. scars.. torn knee ligaments..
NHL refereeing is just bad, they have been allowed/encouraged to "interpret" the rulebook as they see fit in order to manage the games/scores. For a laugh I'd like to see a team of SEL Swede or Liga Finnish refs do an NHL game just to see the difference, I predict the calls would be more consistent, initially a lot of PP's, then eventually the players stop the infractions.. simple cause and effect.

Honestly, I think it's worse than just being asked to ref as they see fit.
I think the NHL believes that people want to see more "battles" so let the players mug each other, and they want more parity, so they emphasize to refs not to give any special treatment to stars - which gets skewed because refs in trying not to give preference go too far the other way.
I think that 2006 showed that when asked to, the refs can call the rule book, but the NHL doesn't actually want that. Several GMs argued against that - Brian Burke specifically argued that no holding and hooking means people are going too fast so suggested that they need to allow more interference in order to prevent injuries. And the guys in charge of reffing and discipline are Campbell and Parros - who wouldn't have had careers if they weren't allowed to get towed around the ice behind better players.
The NHL needs a culture change at the top - then maybe they'll realize that they hurt themselves by deemphasizing skill in favour of illegal play. But it probably doesn't happen until after Bettman is gone. I don't think he's changing out any of his lieutenants at this stage of the game.

I have said this before and I firmly believe it to be true.
There needs to be a culture change form all the guys that run the teams and the league, there is not doubt BUT. There also needs to be a culture change amongst the players.
The players are the ones that deal with it especially the stars. WHEN do you hear a player say anything? Pretty rare. A player gets mugged all game long and all they say is it's a tough job to be a ref or they won't talk about it. blah, blah blah. The top guys get it the worse so if all of these guys stood up and said something, I believe people would listen. But it has to be consistent and all of them. Not just a one off. But they won't do it because if they do and the refs start calling the rule book, guys in their union will lose jobs.
