Connor McDavid says Oilers are average and not trending right

After Edmonton's first-round playoff loss to Anaheim, McDavid said on Saturday he still believes the organisation has taken a step back, echoing teammate Leon Draisaitl.
McDavid said responsibility starts with him and Draisaitl, but warned the team must improve after an early exit that followed two straight Stanley Cup Final defeats to Florida.
His comments intensify pressure on Edmonton as a two-year, $25m contract extension begins next season, with questions growing over whether the Oilers can convince him to stay long term.

Will McDavid's public criticism spark a championship turnaround, or will it fracture the team and accelerate his exit from Edmonton?

With McDavid's loyalty on the line, can the GM accused of breaking the Oilers' roster fix it in just one offseason?
