I will be absolutely shocked if it ever gets to a point that he's eligible for an offer sheet. I expect him to be signed sometime in early July, almost a full year before he'd reach RFA status.
Crosby's second contract was signed on July 7. I expect McDavid's to be signed even earlier than that. In fact, the most Oilery thing to do would be to make sure his signing is the first one announced on July 1, before any of this year's UFAs, just to show how much they really love him.
