If they don't suspend for that hit, given Barkov's value and Drai leaving his feet, I find it well within a reasonable possibility that we see Lomberg, Gadjovich, or Cousins draw in and McDavid gets hurt next game.
Not sure the league wants this to devolve into tribal warfare.

Problem is that plays into the oilers getting powerplays which is how they got to where they are now. The only way that works out for Florida is if they successfully injure McDavid. It can’t be a situation of it hurting him or making him fall down… he would have to be injured and leave the game. Otherwise, it’s just another McPowerplay.
You’re right that the league needs to step in and suspend Draisaitl so it doesn’t turn into that.
