Have to wonder if this will be the year that finally breaks McDavid. He’ll probably still win the scoring race but I honestly believe their defence and goaltending are the worst it’s been in a long time... and that’s saying a lot. So that leads to the potential of another year where the team puts up 4+ goals per game and still loses.
McDavid will be playing 27+ minutes per game in a condensed schedule. He’ll be burnt out. To top it off, there will be no fans to cheer him on. Only the anchors they call depth players to cheer for him while he and Draisaitl drag them around every game. None of this sounds like he will have much fun.
Another miss of the playoffs and I believe that’s it. He’ll be past half-way through his big contract by the end of this year. He’ll be asking for a trade. It’s not like anyone would blame him for wanting out. Even oiler fans would have to understand by now.
