The Edmonton Oilers, a professional ice hockey team based in Edmonton, Alberta, are reportedly contemplating the addition of former Ottawa Senator Alex Formenton to their roster. Formenton gained attention due to his recent acquittal in a sexual assault case, which has led to discussions regarding his potential return to the NHL. Known for his physical attributes, Formenton is described as a big and fast forward who can effectively kill penalties, an attribute that could be beneficial for the Oilers' lineup. Furthermore, during his time in junior hockey, he had his best professional season under the guidance of D.J. Smith, who is currently an associate coach with the Oilers. This potential acquisition may impact team dynamics and strategy moving forward as the Oilers continue their pursuit of improvement in the league.
