Summary
The Oilers just signed Alex Formenton to a one-year, $850K deal — sparking firestorms online after their captain weighed in. Off the ice, he’s a polarizing figure tied to the 2018 World Juniors scandal, acquitted in court but still shunned by most NHL teams. The Oilers see him as cap-smart depth, betting on his potential after solid play with Ottawa before his 2022 exit. He’s not alone — Hart and Dube also found new homes post-acquittal. Now, all eyes are on training camp: Can Formenton prove himself on the ice — and can the Oilers handle the noise off it?
