If McDavid proves to be on that level, he's simply going to ensure the Oilers score at least 2 goals per game on average, and you have to go in knowing it will take at least 3 goals to win.

I think this is just flat out wrong. Teams make game plans for all teams with a player that has a unique game style. As it has already been mentioned JG did great the first couple seasons but the other teams have developed game plans and has made his life harder. And that is just one example.
