Fans destroy Connor McDavid over Alex Formenton take after Oilers signed the controversial forward to a short-term deal… 😳👇

🚨🏒😳 FANS TURN ON CONNOR McDAVID AFTER HIS ALEX FORMENTON TAKE — AND THE NHL WORLD IS DEBATING IT!

Connor McDavid is facing serious criticism after speaking publicly about the Edmonton Oilers’ decision to sign Alex Formenton to a one-year, $850,000 contract. 🏒🔥

Formenton’s return to the NHL has already generated intense discussion because of the controversy surrounding the 2018 Hockey Canada investigation. He and the other accused players were ultimately acquitted, and the NHL reinstated the players involved in 2025.

When McDavid was asked about the Oilers’ decision, the captain gave a measured response, saying Formenton had “gone through a process” and describing Edmonton as “a great opportunity for him.”

But that answer wasn’t enough to satisfy everyone.

🔥 Some fans believe McDavid was simply acknowledging a teammate’s return and leaving the complicated matter to the organization.

😡 Others feel the Oilers captain should have been much more careful about commenting on such a sensitive situation.

💭 The debate has now moved beyond hockey. Fans are questioning where the line should be between supporting a teammate, respecting due process, and acknowledging the concerns surrounding a controversial signing.

The Oilers, meanwhile, are giving Formenton another opportunity to compete for an NHL roster spot after several seasons playing in Switzerland.

🏒 Now the big question: Was McDavid right to keep his response measured, or should he have said more?
