Dude they pause the video with both of Byron's hands right on his numbers. I don't know how you can actually manage to homer your way into an interpretation that contradicts what's clearly on the video.
It wasn't a terrible hit, but this is the NHL, and an illegal hit (because it was from behind and was boarding so it was at least a penalty) that causes an injury to a star player and esepecially because a stretcher came out and the word "hospital" is involved it's pretty much a guaranteed suspension under Shanahan's standard.
Now we see what Patrick Burke does with it.
