3 of the teams you pulled guys from play very good team defense in Vegas, Carolina and Dallas. Dallas has an excellent goalie. If you look at Dallas this playoff, Oettinger hasn't been very good and they are about to get bounced pretty easily.
Everyone's darlings, the Panthers wouldn't have made the playoffs if the Pens won 1 game. They played Chicago and the Jackets in their last 2 games, those 2 were at the bottom of the league. The Hawks with basically an AHL team beat the Pens on home ice 5-1.
So if you are replacing Drai with a guy can isn't even scoring 20 goals, you just removed over 30 goals from the Oilers line up. Who's making that up? McD already scored 64. Hyman scored 36. I don't think he has more in him and if anything, I think he probably scores a little less next year. Nuge score 37 this year. I don't see him scoring as many next year. Kane can score more just because he will be in the line up healthy. So in my opinion, you can't just subtract over 30 goals from your line up and not have it impact you on top of others naturally regressing at least some.
So in order to have a chance to succeed taking away that much offense, the Oilers will have to completely change how their entire team plays from top to bottom, McD included and turn into a much more defensive team. I just don't think that's realistic.

Tell that to the 21/22 Oilers. They only scored 285 goals (40 less than this year's team), and they made the conference finals.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
