It’s easy for them to wait because of wanting their team to be as healthy as possible before engaging in the second half of their playoff run. To get the best out of Connor McDavid, Corey Perry, Stuart Skinner, Leon Draisaitl, Jake Walman, and Evan Bouchard, being healthy is important.
Not to mention the eventual return of Calvin Pickard and Mattias Ekholm.

At the time of this writing, the hardest part of waiting is knowing who they will play against next. They know it will be the Winnipeg Jets or Dallas Stars. But they don’t know where or when.
Stars vs Jets Remaining Schedule
However, there is light at the end of this tunnel. The Oilers will know who they are playing very soon. Here is the schedule for Games 6 and 7 of the Jets and Stars’ series.
Game 6: May 17th (Saturday) - Winnipeg at Dallas - 6:00 PM Mountain Time
Game 7: May 19th (Monday) - Dallas at Winnipeg - 5:30 PM Mountain Time

There are a three different potential outcomes from the final games of this series:
Scenario 1: The Stars win Game 6, they go on to play the Oilers.
Scenario 2: The Jets win Game 6 but lose Game 7. Stars go on to play the Oilers.
Scenario 3: The Jets win Game 6 & 7. The Jets go on to play the Oilers.
The Oilers have a higher probability of playing the Stars in the Western Conference Series. However, the Jets could still pull off something miraculous and win the series.
It’s not over, till it’s over. Until then, wait, wait, wait.
