I don't know if that is true about running a line. What I saw is that Leon was the only player that could work with McDavid so splitting them up was rarely a viable option. McDavid, for whatever number of reasons, doesn't seem to be able to develop an on ice relationship with other players so the Oilers struggle with building a proper line around McDavid.
