If anything, it is similar to the Bennett on Zardov. Only difference is Zaradov is bigger. Bennett also got a penalty in that instance.

You have a point there, but Gaudreau was still on the puck when McAvoy was lining up the hit. You can't even count two steam boats in slow motion between Johnny's contact with the puck, and the hit.
I don't even really see it as a penalty to be honest. It seems refs are more likely now to just call any violent looking hit as a penalty.
