Yes I am ok with the TB change. 4 TB players were making a line change, in close proximity to the bench and did not play the puck and were not directly involved in the play. If one of those players had played the puck, TB should have been called for too many men.
Kahdri came on the ice early, skated over half way across the ice and played the puck before the person he was replacing reached the bench.
The issue I see is Kadri intentionally played the puck, which is a big indicator of being involved in the play and it is almost always called, if detected. Having 6,7,8, players on the ice happens often during a game. If one those players plays the puck intentionally, it’s a called. No one plays the puck, not called.
