As someone else mentioned, the Oilers were just so brazen about it. Everyone knew they were going to do it well ahead of time and it played out just as expected. They weren't coy about it and I seem to recall their management even alluded to doing it at some point.
Plus, the cap is going up so it's a good chance for the NHL to put a stop to it since teams pretty much have a clean slate. They can tell the teams not to spend to the cap with the idea that they can just use LTIR hijinks.
