There you have it. Connor McDavid defending the Oilers signing an abuser. 😐⁣
⁣
The Edmonton Oilers signed former Ottawa Senators forward Alex Formenton, one of the five former World Junior players charged with sexual assault in 2018. ⁣
⁣⁣
And why? Formenton – who hasn't played in NHL game in over five years – recorded just 23 points in Switzerland last season. The move makes so little sense on the ice, let alone off. 🫠⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Formenton is now the third player from the sexual assault case to receive a contract after the trial ended, along with forward Dillon Dube with the St. Louis Blues and goaltender Carter Hart with the Vegas Golden Knights. Why are we letting abusers play in the league? 🤮⁣ ⁣
