Oilers Sign Formenton Amid Injury Flexibility | Edmonton Oilers News

The Oilers just inked winger Alex Formenton for $850K, burning through cap space and leaving them with just over $1 million to work with—while juggling 47 contracts near the 50-player limit. With key players like Janmark and Regula sidelined, the move buys them breathing room: they might keep all eight defensemen on one-way deals and even add an extra forward. This flexibility lets them stay agile in their roster-building game, especially as next summer looms with big contract decisions—including restricted free agents Savoie and Levi, plus eight UFA’s including Formenton and Andersen.
