Summary
Alex Formenton, a forward with Swiss league experience and a controversial past, has inked a one-year, $850K deal with the Edmonton Oilers. Once cleared of sexual assault charges from 2018 — after being acquitted in 2025 — he was suspended by Hockey Canada for violating its code but saw that penalty lifted immediately. The Ottawa Senators had previously released him, making him a free agent before his return to NHL play became possible on December 1, 2025.
