As per the rules that is easily too many men and if it happened against my team I would be pissed.

Byram is a red-herring as he is not the changed for player. It is the guy at the blue-line (MacKinnon) who was changing for Kadri.
I think it was Nichuskin who was about to change, then changed his mind because he saw the puck was coming up, but Kadri was already on and MacKinnon did eventually come off. He is the guy at the blue line.
