IMO it should have looked something like this:
Zadorov gets a fine - third man in, after the whistle
McDavid gets a fine - two handed chop, after the whistle
Soucy gets a game - unintentional, but it's a stick the face and you have to control your stick
Hyman gets a game - intentional stick to the face and you have to control your stick
That sends a clear message to both teams that the after whistle stuff won't be tolerated and you shouldn't be hitting people in the face with your stick. Instead one team got the message and the other team can do as they please.

Because the Oilers are so pathetic, that they need all the help they can get from all levels of hockey to have a CHANCE of winning a game. For a roster that has two players that can play at such a high caliber, that's embarrassing that the rest of the team can't do anything to contribute.
I wonder if McDavid will get the same level same level of privilege/attention when he moves on to another team after still not being able to win a cup in Edmonton. Ideally, he would move to a team that would feature the most depth he has had in his career, which would be a very low bar to clear.
I was thinking that Edmonton would walk through Vancouver, but Silvos is doing enough to not sink his team, and the Canucks have gotten the goals they've needed. For Edmonton to accomplish the goals they're aspiring for, this showing indicates they're not even gonna get close. Edmonton is no good.
