Its not "woe is Oilers! Why all bad things be done unto them!!"
They've gotten away with a lot already. They NHL gave an inch and the Oil took a mile. Thats when you get your hands slapped.

The Keith one was the worst. As I recall he retired a year early and was immediately given a job with the Oilers and I think he got to live in Kelowna. Not sure there was any info shared about him leaving the organization, but one could assume it was a short term gig. Just clear as day paying a player.
I could fully see the NHL giving them a warning about pushing things, and then they do it again.
Again, if they won would this even be news? They would take a penalty and celebrate for the next 30 years.
