True enough.
Take McDavid off the Oilers, and you have a roster of Draisaitl and not much else. It would look like the Quebec Nordiques after they traded away Stastny and Goulet, when their top three players were:
(1) Joe Sakic
(2) the Zamboni
(3) the spare tire for the Zamboni.
(Seriously. In '89-90, Sakic topped 100 points. No other player who finished the year in Quebec had 40.)
