I could see McDavid looking at asking for his way out as soon as this offseason.

Mike Vernon caused Patrick Roy to walk out on Montreal.
They met before the game and Vernon told Roy how much less stress he feels after he was traded. Mike telling Roy that put the notion in Roy's head that he needed a change.
So, yes. Players talk and hearing first hand from other players how good things got after going to a new place is enough to make a player decide to enact a change.
McDavid can request a trade. If he is smart he'll wait until July 1 (or whatever Free agency date is this year) when his NMC kicks in so that he can control where he is traded.
