Ottawa Senators fans are watching a familiar name make headlines again. Alex Formenton, who spent parts of five seasons with the Senators after Ottawa drafted him in 2017, has become the subject of a growing petition calling on the Edmonton Oilers to reverse their decision to sign him.
What's happening
Thousands of people have signed the petition since it launched, according to Sportsnet, though the Oilers have not commented on whether they plan to reconsider the deal.
The Ottawa connection
Formenton wore Senators colours from 2018 to 2023, developing into a regular in Ottawa's lineup before leaving the organization. His name still carries weight with local hockey fans following his next move.
