Yeah the talking heads are thinking that McDavid is going to will his team. At some point you have to be realistic, this isn't basketball, it is still very much a team sport. The Oilers essentially have to try and beat teams in the 25mins he is on the ice. That is always the plan. There is a reason they are 3-19-2 when he doesn't get a point.
Past teams I think had players that were able to tread water a bit better, and that was before they revamped Defense for some questions marks. It could go pretty badily. I figure in the first 10 games we start seeing articles throwing Skinner (goalie) under the bus because the team in front of him doesn't know what they are doing.
