I'm late to replying to this, but the main issue that I have with this deal is even if the cap does go up next year, it's not going to do the Oilers any good since most of that increase is being eaten up by this contract. It's really putting all of their eggs in the basket of a guy that just missed a full season and almost 20 games the year before. There's a lot of risk there.
And maybe the worst part is: best case scenario, if it works out for them, there's a good chance that they won't be able to re-sign him the next year since they'll already be paying him over $3M.
I'm not even going to mention the fact that his 21 goal season came with a shooting percentage ~6% over his career average.
Having said all of that, I do appreciate the Oilers showing a bit of creativity and I hope that Connor Brown comes in and scores 25 goals. But I worry that if they don't win the Cup this year, they won't be in any better of a position to improve the team next year, and are just spinning their wheels a bit.

I think he's going to do well if he's healthy. Comes in with virtually the same numbers that hyman did when he signed.
The downside is potential injury. The entire amount is guaranteed after 10 games, and because it's a bonus, the full cap hit will count even if he does eventually go on LTIR.
What the Oilers can keep in mind is any extra cap at the end of this year will be applied to that bonus, so even if its just $1 million, it will soothe some of the pain.
I've said before I'm not a fan of screaming "we're all in" and making stupid decisions that negatively affect the future, but this one could turn out ok.
