After all of your hypothetical moves and trades, which exactly are their bad contracts besides possibly Lucic? There's not a team in the league that doesn't want McDavid and his big contract in their lineup. It's certainly a risk but elite players generally find ways of winning.

I'm curious about this part, as I don't see it. Not sure how to even describe this quality, but let's call it "an indomitable will to win". It's one of those intangible things, and maybe having a high level of it makes one elite? But, I don't see it as a guaranteed quality of those with elite talent levels in other parts of the game. McDavid is good, and you're better off with him than a less talented center, but does that somehow mean he's going to will the team to win? I don' think so. You still need to round out a roster with other talent and role players. Your argument stinks of the "just a matter of time", or "not when, but how many" comments the media made.
