## Resource

The Oilers just signed Alex Formenton to a one-year, $850K deal to bolster their penalty kill — a role where his past stats look surprisingly solid, especially with his familiarity to the team’s PK coach. But with over 1,500 days since his last NHL game, the real test is whether he can rediscover his penalty-killing form. Offensively, his Swiss stint saw a steep drop in production, making top-line fits unlikely. Defensively, he’s never been a standout — and even at his peak, his even-strength game wasn’t elite. Most likely, he’ll slot onto the fourth line if he makes the roster. Still, with a league-minimum contract and a clear role, he’s got a real shot at opening night — especially after a career that seemed headed nowhere just a couple of years ago.
