I don't know if this changes the calculus at all for McDavid, but anything that pushes Nicholson closer to the edge has to be seen as a little bit of a positive. I feel WAAAAY more comfortable with virtually anyone leading the next GM search.

I think that there's probably something to the idea that Jackson will have better insight into what Connor thinks is important, he probably also has some understanding of areas where Connor might think the organization is lacking.
Having said that, I don't think that just doing whatever Connor McDavid wants is necessarily the best course of action for the organization overall, but it probably, (at least in the short term), has some impact on McDavid's decision on where his next contract is signed.

When you can't do what it actually takes to win (shed all the dead weight in management and actually make every hire with as much confidence as you can have you are hiring the best person for the job), I think keeping McDavid becomes the #1 focus. That's is who you are selling to the fans when it's hard to sell actual team success. McDavid highlights are your cover to stop people from looking at how poorly things are run in the offices. I think many moves will be made in the next 2 years with McDavid's next negotiation in mind.
