This is probably an unpopular opinion, however McDavid doesn't look happy, doesn't have good body language and is giving the puck away in both zones like crazy.
Is McDavid sending a message that he doesn't want to be here? Even his interviews are "meh, whatever" and super dismissive and nonchalant. He looks like he wants out.

He hasn't been peak McDavid, but I have read his body language a different way. I see a guy who is so competitive that he has spent the offseason fuming/dwelling about being so close to the cup and losing. It is a long season but I am sure every loss, maybe even every GA is grinding him.
He goes through stretches like this when he has too much in his head. I don't see a guy playing pond hockey, I see a guy trying to do too much. Often when McDavid isn't at his best, it because of this, especially the turnovers.
When the best players are close to the contract renewal window, there will be a lot of reading into things and seeing a sign of staying or leaving. I will leave that to the media.
I have about 1% worry that McDavid leaves.
I also think McDavid, his play, his body language is 100% about him wanting to win and not about his contract situation.
