Why Connor McDavid is so important for the Oilers?

The gameplay of Connor McDavid is really outstanding this NHL season. The Canadian ice hockey superstar has played 65 games this season and has scored 54 goals and 70 assists with a hefty 124 points, while there are plenty more matches remaining this season. As Connor McDavid scored his 45th goal of the season, he set a new career high, surpassing the 44 goals he had scored in the 2021–22 season, his previous best. The whole Oilers fandom is worried about McDavid, despite his stellar performances this season, since nobody wants him to stop playing hockey, and that includes his teammates.
