On Friday, a post went viral that explained how McDavid wanted out of Edmonton, as he was growing frustrated with the direction of the team. The tweet pulled in over 1 million views in under 24 hours. The account that posted it even went as far as saying that they spoke to a player on the team about it who wished to stay anonymous.
The post was fake, as reported by NHL Trade Talk. The account that posted it has made claims like this before, and fans should even expect more posts like this if the Oilers season doesn't turn around right away.
While the post was fake, the sentiment was true. The Oilers are frustrated, and fans are too. The 1-5-1 record is an abysmal way to start the year, especially for a team that was pegged to be a Cup contender.
