Ha. He will likely get a game or two, but if you think his "leaving of the feet" here is any different than a vast majority of hits in the NHL, you are mistaken. Everyone makes that last second leap to allow momentum to carry through the body. And while NHL rules prohibit any leaving of the feet during a check, referees have come to terms with what is out of the ordinary when making that call. The issue here is that it's made more apparent by the length of ice covered to make the hit. Nothing more.
