Summary
The Oilers just signed Alex Formenton, a 6’3” speedster with NHL pedigree, on a one-year deal worth $850K — and he was already on the ice after the announcement. Once a second-round pick who scored 18 goals in 2021-22, Formenton’s been playing in Switzerland while navigating a legal ordeal that ended in acquittal. Now back in North America, he’ll need to prove he can handle NHL intensity — especially if his role leans into penalty kill duties. The Oilers’ reputation for giving second chances is front and center here, as training camp looms and fans wonder if Formenton can resurrect his career in Edmonton.
