EDMONTON, AB - Oilers captain Connor McDavid is balancing frustration with confidence as he looks back on 2018-19 and ahead to what will be an important off-season for the team.
"I'd be a complete loser if I wasn't frustrated," he said on Sunday morning. "It's frustrating personally and it's frustrating as a group. We want to be in the playoffs. We want to be competing late in the season. That's not where we're at, so we've got some stuff to figure out… That's simply the facts and we're going to get it right."
McDavid said he and Oilers CEO/Vice Chair Bob Nicholson have chatted briefly about the organization's plans moving forward with a GM search, NHL Draft and free agency on the horizon.
"My message is let's get this right, let's fix this," McDavid said. "It doesn't matter what has to happen, let's just get this right. That's all."
