The fact McDavid is the very best on a bad team doesn't mean that much to me. And it's not that bad of a team player wise anyway. They do have Draisaitl, Hyman, RNH. They have Bouchard and Ekholm.

If feelings are eye test, then yes that's 100% factoring in. He's the best I've ever seen, let alone in a comp vs Kucherov.
Florida's been without Barkov, but also Tkachuk for half the season. Now Marchand. Huge games lost totals across that roster.
In the Kucherov vs McDavid debate, I think each team's record (historically, regular season) is quite telling:
Tampa without Kucherov: 88-42-17
Edmonton without McDavid: 28–33–10
