Connor McDavid is currently taking a break at Amangiri, a luxury resort and recreational hotel that offers privacy and a desert setting with wellness experiences. The duo has made the resort its resort of choice after a gruelling NHL season.Internet platforms are flooded with images of Connor McDavid with his dog Lauren Kyle and friends, capturing the harmony he has found after the season. It’s a place with private pools, canyon views and personalised pampering, among other upscale amenities.From a performance perspective, McDavid’s stats continued to soar. Despite the Oilers’ early exit, the legendary Dutchman, now captain of the Oilers, continued to be the league’s top scorer, further cementing his case as the NHL’s all-time leading scorer. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman says top-level assessments are likely to be made within the Oilers’ ranks. Reports of McDavid leaving have been denied, but reports about making adjustments to the team and offloading star players have continued.The holiday is not so much a hiatus as a respite before the painful signings and moves that will commence during training camp. Now, Edmonton have to focus on filling the holes that were revealed during the series with Anaheim, and will rarely weaken for the upcoming series of NHL match previews.While McDavid’s tenure at the franchise doesn’t seem threatened yet in the offseason, the possibility of him being dealt continues to rise and spread throughout the NHL.
