The Oilers hope things work out this way, and maybe they do for the better. But it is not always just that easy to find s good fit for every high-end centre. Taylor Hall was not a great fit playing with McDavid. When the Sedins were the best offensive duo in hockey the only other winger with whom they were able to find any sustained success was Alexandre Burrows. This was for several years a big issue in Vancouver.
So, while in theory McDavid can turn virtually any player into a top line winger, it doesn't necessarily work out that way in the real world.
