Of course, but he has this space because Draisaitl is closely guarded by other players as well, creating room for him. He has been a no-show in game one, where Draisaitl created the offense (which was also the case last year up until McDavid was reunited with Draisaitl again, where McDavid started scoring as well). The Oilers led game one in shots up until Draisaitl got injured, and they were totally outshot and lost afterwards.
Other than that? Yes, you are right. There isn't any offensive ability left.
