The Oilers just signed Alex Formenton to a one-year deal — a move that’s sparking debate. Acquitted of sexual assault charges from 2018, Formenton was suspended by the NHL and Hockey Canada before being reinstated. He hasn’t played in the NHL since 2022, spending recent seasons in Switzerland where his stats don’t scream NHL relevance. While the Oilers have a history of second chances, signing him without a professional tryout feels risky. With roster spots tight and competition fierce, it’s unclear how he fits — but this gamble could either be a smart rebuild move or another questionable roster gamble.

Edmonton Oilers fans, brace yourselves—this season you’ll miss 14 regular-season games if you’re still relying on cable. Rogers is shifting “Monday Night Hockey” exclusively to their digital app, Sportsnet+, with nine high-profile matchups including Detroit and the Rangers. To access these plus 100+ US games, upgrade to the $12.99/month add-on starting Sept 15. Good news: “Saturday Night Hockey” stays on traditional TV and streaming, with familiar voices back behind the mic—and 150 regional blackouts lifted for better out-of-market access. It’s a digital-first shift, but options remain to stay connected. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

The Oilers just signed Alex Formenton, a 6’3” speedster with NHL pedigree, on a one-year deal worth $850K — and he was already on the ice after the announcement. Once a second-round pick who scored 18 goals in 2021-22, Formenton’s been playing in Switzerland while navigating a legal ordeal that ended in acquittal. Now back in North America, he’ll need to prove he can handle NHL intensity — especially if his role leans into penalty kill duties. The Oilers’ reputation for giving second chances is front and center here, as training camp looms and fans wonder if Formenton can resurrect his career in Edmonton.

A former Ottawa Senator, Player X, has inked a one-year, $850K deal with the Edmonton Oilers after requesting a trade — signaling a fresh start amid a turbulent stint in Ottawa. Fans are understandably split, but top-tier teams like Edmonton handle departures with grace, honoring past contributions before turning focus to the future — a mature, respectful approach that keeps the game moving forward.

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.

Alex Formenton, a forward with Swiss league experience and a controversial past, has inked a one-year, $850K deal with the Edmonton Oilers. Once cleared of sexual assault charges from 2018 — after being acquitted in 2025 — he was suspended by Hockey Canada for violating its code but saw that penalty lifted immediately. The Ottawa Senators had previously released him, making him a free agent before his return to NHL play became possible on December 1, 2025.

The Edmonton Oilers’ training camp is heating up with crucial battles shaping the roster heading into the season. With Matt Savoie sidelined, Kasperi Kapanen looks poised to lead the second line alongside Draisaitl and Podkolzin, though Isaac Howard’s AHL dominance makes him a serious contender. In the bottom six, Jason Dickinson locks down third-line center, while Trent Frederic and Colton Dach are also favorites — but Josh Samanski, Mathieu Joseph, Max Jones, and even dark horse Viljami Marjala are vying for spots. On defense, the top four are set, but Ty Emberson faces off against Shakir Mukhamadullin and Spencer Stastney for the final third-pairing spot. These decisions could define the team’s identity and performance from day one — don’t miss the drama. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Alex Formenton’s NHL comeback with the Edmonton Oilers on a league-minimum deal marks a pivotal moment for players cleared in the 2018 World Junior scandal — a case that saw five players acquitted, reinstated by the NHL, and now returning to professional play as fans, teams, and the league navigate complex legacies and public scrutiny.

Connor McDavid, NHL’s undisputed king, is quietly watching his salary slip down the pay scale as mega-deals explode across the league — but he’s not mad. With a savvy two-year deal keeping his cap hit low, he’s helping the Oilers build while others like Cale Makar, Connor Bedard, and Leo Carlsson rake in $18M+ annually. McDavid sees these contracts as a win for all players, celebrating the financial progress of the game — even if owners might disagree. A three-time MVP, he leads not just with stats, but with vision, championing collective growth over personal gain.

Connor McDavid revels in the electric, high-energy atmosphere of Montreal’s Bell Centre, calling it one of the most thrilling venues in hockey. He thrives on the crowd’s passion—whether cheering or booing—and especially loves representing Canada there during the Four Nations Face-Off. With the Canadiens’ young core rising and the Oilers as Stanley Cup contenders, their December 14th showdown promises intense drama. For McDavid, it’s not just another game—it’s a chance to soak in the legendary Montreal hockey culture he clearly adores.

The Edmonton Oilers just landed Mike Babcock — and the stars are already singing his praises. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Zach Hyman helped vet him, raving about his game sense and championship pedigree. Even Sidney Crosby, who played under him for Olympic gold, called Babcock “really organized,” lauding his tactical genius and clarity in defining roles. While critics have noted his intensity, his technical coaching is undeniable. For McDavid and the Oilers’ core, Babcock represents the missing edge — the final piece to turn individual brilliance into a Stanley Cup. With Babcock’s strategic mind and proven track record, this could be the catalyst the team needs to finally crack the code and win it all.

The Oilers are back on the ice in Edmonton as training camp kicks into gear, with McDavid and Draisaitl poised to dominate the lineup and the new coaching staff aiming to keep their lethal duo together. Rogers Place gets a fresh look ahead of the season, and fans are buzzing for what could be a championship run — from the first skate to the final buzzer, the puck’s dropping and the hype is real.

NHL futures are heating up for the 2026-27 season—here’s where to bet smart: Boston Bruins to make playoffs at +275 (history says don’t sleep on them), Anaheim Ducks to miss playoffs at +150 (weak defense, contract uncertainty = solid value), and Edmonton Oilers to finish second at +280 (their division title streak is history, but second place is their sweet spot).

Zach Hyman isn’t fading—he’s a top-tier Oilers force, scoring 31 goals in just 58 games last season, a feat matched by only one other player in the league. Playing through wrist surgery and wearing a brace, he powered his way into elite company, becoming one of nine players to hit 30 goals in the final 50 games. A relentless power forward who dominates boards and thrives in front of the net, Hyman is the perfect complement to McDavid and a vital engine for the second line. With coach Babcock trusting his game from their Toronto days, Hyman’s consistency and predictability are key to avoiding another sluggish start. Young prospects aren’t ready to replace him yet, especially with injuries looming—Hyman remains the indispensable offensive anchor the Oilers need to build around.

The Edmonton Oilers just locked down Rogers Place through 2036, extending their naming rights and solidifying a long-term partnership. Rogers is also deep in NHL broadcasting with Sportsnet until 2038, showing big bets on hockey across the board. To thank fans, they’re giving away 1,500 tickets this season — including 300 for the home opener. But behind the scenes, Rogers’ sports media division is facing turbulence: stations shuttered in Calgary and Vancouver, streaming prices up, and rumors swirling about on-air talent shifts — though some, like Elliotte Friedman’s rumored exit, may be overblown. While the Oilers have stability, the broader sports media landscape remains a shifting, complex game. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

The Oilers’ blue line overhaul this summer is bold and loaded with potential: Ryan Shea and Shakir Mukhamadullin bring fresh firepower and depth, while Darnell Nurse’s exit clears space for a more flexible, injury-resistant defense. Jake Walman’s $7M price tag bets big on offense without sacrificing defense, pairing nicely with Connor Murphy for a strong second pair. Evan Bouchard remains the offensive engine, but Ekholm’s aging game leaves room for Shea and Mukhamadullin to step up. With cap space freed and backups like Stastney and Emberson ready, this revamped defense could be the key to sustained success — if the gamble pays off.

Mike Babcock’s arrival in Edmonton signals a seismic shift for the Oilers, promising accountability, smarter ice time management, and bold line-up changes — especially for McDavid and Draisaitl. With Babcock’s track record of distributing talent and using minutes as motivation, expect deeper scoring opportunities and more roster flexibility. His no-nonsense media style and willingness to call out leaders could ignite the locker room — and his tough decisions might just be the spark this team needs to break through.

Viljami Marjala is a Finnish playmaking wizard on the rise, exploding with 60 points (17G, 43A) in 72 games last season for Bakersfield. Drafted by Buffalo in 2021, he’s already proving his NHL-ready vision and elite passing — making smart, high-danger plays even under pressure. While his skating could use polish, his hockey IQ and ability to outthink defenders make him a standout prospect. Projected to be an impact player by 2027-28, Marjala’s game is built for the big stage — and he’s already turning heads.
