Yeah. Because he lacks size and separation speed. Those aren't issues on the PP as there is more time and space.

He was on the PP because there were no other options. He likely sees much less time this year

He's on the PP because he's really good at it.
Since RNH's rookie year 2012 until 2022 he is 36th in points/60 out of all NHL forwards.
From 2012 until 2015-16 ( The year McDavid joined the NHL), RNH was 15th in points/60 out of all NHL forwards.
The guy is good at the powerplay. I don't see anyone on the Oilers that can take time away from him this upcoming season.
