Maybe he can handle the NHL, but maybe they want to ease him back into the speed of things. The NHL is much quicker than the OHL and he can go to the OHL and work on his game for the rest of the year and maybe that will be enough for him to be prepared to join Adirondak or maybe even Calgary for the playoffs.
Rushing him into a spot reeks of the Oilers game plan. Oh look, a first round pick, here play on the 1st line!

No,
giving him a top 6 role reeks of the Oilers.
Seeing if he can earn one is just good management.
Did Boston go full Oiler by playing Pastrnak?
Did Colorado, Florida, Nashville, Carolina, Calgary, Buffalo or Dallas go full Oiler last year by playing MacKinnon, Barkov, Jones, Lindholm, Monahan, Ristoleinen or Nichushkin?
This Oiler thing really needs to stop.
