The control is always with the star player barring lockout time.
I mean if McDavid wants to screw over the Oilers there isn't anything stopping him.
I think it's unlikely for him to do so based on the collective actions of star players in the NHL.
If you think Connor Mcdavid will try to put the screws to the Oilers it's because you are probably just projecting your feelings towards the Oilers onto the situation.
The likelihood of McDavid's contract negotiations going down like you hope isn't very high IMO.
