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.

Can you use your NMC to block the team that you are already on?
