1 year, 850k.
We do love our reclamation projects don't we?

At least the first two swings at the garbage tree were actually good at hockey with Perry and Kane. Are Bowman, Babcock and Formenton even good at their jobs? Real diminishing returns here as we keep going back to the scumbag well.
Excellent PR moves; very good for the Oilers brand. Such a well respected organization we have here as we head into the final full year of the McDavid era.

I have some tough news for you.
Other athletes and celebrities in their teens/20s with insane amounts of celebrity/access/money have done similar things. Doesn't make it right or wrong but you should probably stop watching sports if that's your line in the sand.
Babcock was/is treated the way he has been because he was mean to "journalists" in Toronto. Nothing more.
Kane did nothing wrong. No idea what happened with Perry but humans do dumb things sometimes and I couldn't care less if a hockey player got drunk and said something inappropriate.
As for is this player any good - fair question and I don't think anyone really knows but I guess we will find out. Scored 18 goals in the NHL and is 6'3. That's something.

The Oilers haven't ventured into the PWHL yet, but if we had a team no matter what the result of the case was, do you think the women playing on that team would want Formenton in the same club as them??
|
Why would the imaginary opinion of imaginary PWHL players matter? Because they are (imaginary) women?
Would the Oilers players get to have a say on who was allowed to play on this PWHL team based on how they feel about each players sexual history? Maybe they should get to weigh in on weather or not "EM" should be allowed to work at her current job.
Then again she likely doesn't need to work much. You know because of the massive settlement she received for cheating on her bf with a bunch of hockey players and lying about it.

Different sport for one, but when Mason Greenwood's case collapsed against him (go look it up, rather than me saying in here), he was still suspended by Manchester United, after a review post the collapsed case and discussions within the club which included women's team players he was told he wasn't coming back to the club and would be sold. His next clubs fans objected to him joining them for what happened and even though he did exceptionally well, he's been sold again which has rid the club of the issues he brings.
One of the obvious reasons why the women's team were asked at United, and I'm sure had the Oilers had a PWHL team would of, is if they feel safe and comfortable with Greenwood/Formenton within the club, as the club has a duty of care and responsibility to it's players and other employee's. The fact we haven't got a women's team shouldn't the issue here, hopefully the other female Oiler employee's have had an input into how they feel about this.
Right now, it has to be presumed they have and they've been given the green light to employ him. Unless anything comes out after today, we have to put up with it. As I said originally, this takes a bit of shine off the club for me, but they are still my team.
Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers
take me home, country road
