Signed a fourth-month contract with HC Ambri-Piotta of Switzerland's NL in September of 2025.
Won't re-sign with Ottawa
Ottawa won't re-sign Formenton, general manager Steve Staios told TSN 1200 Ottawa on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After Formenton was acquitted of all charges of sexual assault in July, the NHL announced that he's eligible to register a new contract Oct. 15, followed by a return to game action Dec. 1. The 26-year-old was a restricted free agent, but if the Senators don't plan on retaining his rights, then he can sign anywhere. However, it's not clear if he'll end up back in the NHL. He spent 2022-23 and 2023-24 with Ambri-Piotta of Switzerland's National League, and after missing 2024-25 while on a leave of absence due to the charges, he is back with Ambri-Piotta for 2025-26. However, his new deal with the club is a four-month contract that contains an option to extend through the full campaign, which does leave the door open for him to head to North America. Formenton had 18 goals, 32 points and 59 PIM in 79 appearances with Ottawa in 2021-22.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
Formenton established himself as a full-time regular for the Senators a season ago, posting 18 goals and 32 points in 79 games. Five of those tallies came shorthanded. Formenton has blazing speed, is an excellent penalty killer and will play this entire season at age 23, so he's a clear foundation piece for Ottawa moving forward, but he doesn't have a single power-play point in his career and is unlikely to see enough top-six minutes to become a factor from a fantasy perspective.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade being pursued
Formenton's NHL rights are available via trade, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Formenton is currently signed to a short-term deal overseas while he awaits his NHL eligibility to be restored Dec. 1. The Senators were very clear that it would be best for the winger to get a fresh start elsewhere. If he can impress while playing for HC Ambri-Piotta, perhaps an NHL club will be willing to give him a two-way deal in December.
