We will disagree. I would gladly take the Oilers roster over the Knights because the Knights are a much older team both at forward and on defense. So in my opinion the likelihood they will repeat their season due to age is less than the Oilers.
I can't find it now because Capfriendly and PuckPedia have shifted their sites to the 2023 season but I believe the Knights has a cap hit of over 96 mill, the Oilers around 90. That takes into account injuries I believe but an extra 6 mill in player is a lot. That's an advantage.
The Knights got the advantage in their first round opponent. I had the Jets beating the Knights all day. They had the better goalie on paper and I thought the Jets had a good team because on paper they do. But there is some serious locker room problems on that team and the Jets laid down and died. So the Knights got a cake walk, the Oilers got a war with the Kings. That took a toll as the Oilers came out more banged up than the KNights did.
The Knights got lucky with Brossoit pulling his groin or whatever happened. Brossoit was going to give the Knights adequate goaltending, due to injury, they have to play Hill and he's been spectacular.
So lots of things went right for Vegas to be where they are.

A lot of what you say went right for Vegas is the result of good management and of being a good hockey team. The Knights didn't 'get' a better first round opponent, they earned it. Their management made better use of the rules than the Oilers. They have goaltending depth and the defense to make their tenders better.
The Knights have been to the conference finals 4 time in their 6 years with likely 2 trips to the finals. Aside from McDavid and pure homerism I don't see a strong argument in favor of the Oilers.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
