He would've been as good as he now, quicker, and imo have had already won the Stanley Cup with whatever organization not named the Oilers.

Like Crosby having and living with Lemiuex for those formative years, if McDavid had that sort of stability of a properly run organization for the first year or two, he'd have had the same success individually and skill progression as he has, but have had a much stronger supporting cast on and off the ice.
