That’s not an action. “If I were commissioner, I would write a rule suspending anyone who engaged in what I or referees considered to be fighting for ten games on each offense,” describes an action one not fighting could perform—writing—that would influence the situation.
Not discussing the mechanism you’d use makes the argument too nonspecific. It’s like saying “If I were President, I’d fix the economy.”
I did not elaborate because it would be too far off-topic. Yours is one way to do it. There are many other way to make the utility of fighting negative for everyone involved. In any case, getting rid of fights is infinitely easier than fixing the economy (European and international hockey does quite well without them, showing that it is not that hard).
