I don't think McDavid lost his talent. I simply think he is exhausted from playing so many minutes per night, and having 2 deep cup runs that ultimately meant nothing.
And he sees the team is worse than last year. He knows he has to carry the team and he's a couple years older and it is harder to play so many minutes each night. On top of that he gave his team a huge discount so they could build a winning team. And they got worse. So I'm sure motivation is a factor also.
