Alex Formenton

I'm wondering if Alex Formenton can be had from Ottawa.. he's big, skilled, and a speed demon.. refused to take Senators RFA offer last season.. clock ran out end of December and he wasn't allowed to play in the NHL.. signed in Europe.. he'd be a good get that could likely compete for a roster spot right now.
Interesting to see what the relationship is between the new ownership and Formenton and whether they bury the hatchet.. or not.. :)

6'-3" 200lbs.

Was part of the reason he didn't sign/play was because he was part of the investigation around that World Juniors thing from a few years ago?

Potentially. It's conjecture though and certainly, there are others who are involved who are almost certainly on NHL teams - teams that likely are aware of their involvement.

Quote:

The following players have stated that they have fully cooperated with the investigation but declined to comment further: Boris Katchouk, Drake Batherson and Michael McLeod.

Alex Formenton is the lone player that has not made any comments to date.

I also dislike the way this has been framed by the media lumping all the players denials together. Cale Makar said specifically that he is not one of the 8 players involved. Max Comtois too said "I was not involved in any way with the alleged abuse and as far as I know, no one has ever suggested otherwise.

You compare that to Carter Hart, who has said nothing himself, but who's agent said that Hart (and a couple others) engaged in no criminal wrongdoing...that's a big difference. Asked about it, Hart's only said that he can't talk about it. He's never personally denied involvement.

Now, people can lie. There's no consequence to a false twitter statement so Makar saying it wasn't him doesn't necessarily clear him, but I think these guys all know that there's a good chance that this comes out, so a patently false claim is only going to make someone look bad. For Hart, the lawyer's statement is a hedge. He's said nothing, denied nothing. A lawyer's statement is not admissable in any court. And even for the lawyer, if Hart was later outed here, he could maintain that he didn't believe it was criminal - especially since the earlier police investigation resulted in no charges being pressed.

Anyhow, Formenton definitely has the cloud of suspicion hanging over him. That would make him a lot riskier to sign, although the Oilers have shown time and again that they're not too concerned about that stuff, and we have Bobby "Slush Fund" Nicholson ready to clean up after any unsavoury actions here.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
