The difference between having players on and off the ice is that the men changing can't be in possession of the puck or interfering with the play. The fact that there are more players on the ice than 5 is irrelevant. It looks like Kadri was the player going onto the ice and he was on the opposite side of the rink while in possession of the puck all the while Byram was still on the playing surface.
As per the rules that is easily too many men and if it happened against my team I would be pissed.
