Summary
The Oilers just pulled off a bold gamble, signing Alex Formenton to an $850K one-year deal — a player sidelined since 2021-22 by an off-ice incident, now back with 13 goals and 23 points in Switzerland. With their roster already stacked around McDavid and Draisaitl, the move raises questions: where does he fit? Fourth line? Risky? Maybe. But Edmonton’s history of surprising signings (hello, Stan Bowman) suggests they’re willing to roll the dice for depth — especially as injuries loom before camp. This one’s got buzz — and we’ll see if the past can be the present. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
