The Oilers last season was a mirage. Unless Smith improves upon his unreal year (which was even better than his save percentage would suggest when you dig deeper into his stats) they are a bottom third team. Their defense is worse, their goaltending will assuredly be worse, and they chose to add to their top line.
I think their goal is to get McDavid as many points as possible to keep him happy and in town. Winning is secondary, and if you look at his career to date McDavid hasn't won squat at any serious level that wasn't a personal trophy.
