The Oilers have signed forward Alex Formenton to a one-year, $850,000 contract. Formenton discussed the opportunity and his hope to return to form, despite missing four NHL seasons. He is one of five player who were charged with sexual assault following an incident in a London, Ont. hotel room in 2018 after a Hockey Canada event celebrating their World Junior title.
Whether Connor McDavid plays with or without Leon Draisaitl this year, the Oilers captain is hoping Mike Babcock can bring more stability to their lineup.

The Brady Tkachuk trade left a big void both on and off the ice, so what is Ottawa's plan to name a new captain, and who it could be?

Winnipeg goalie Connor Hellebuyck sent ripples through the Jets' locker room when he asked for a trade this offseason.

One of the biggest questions that has plagued the NHL since Brady Tkachuk requested a trade from the Senators is who will be Ottawa's next captain. TSN Hockey analyst Cameron Gaunce shares who he thinks deserves to wear the "C" in the nations capital, and explains why in The Talking Point.
The Senators are excited about the acquisition of young forward William Eklund, as Drake Batherson and Tim Stützle specifically spoke about potentially playing alongside him in Ottawa.
Senators general manager Steve Staios said the team's decision on its vacant captaincy will not be rushed, especially with so many capable players who are ready to fill that void. One of those players, Tim Stützle, reacted to the online comment from Panthers forward Brad Marchand, poking fun at the thought of Stützle being given that role in Ottawa.
The departure of Brady Tkachuk will be an adjustment for the Senators on and off the ice, but the players don't hold anything against their former captain for wanting to move on. Even though Tkachuk was a unique player who brought a lot to the team, they are ready to prove they can succeed without him.
Senators forward Drake Batherson is a pending unrestricted free agent and stated Tuesday that he wants to stay in Ottawa long-term and is hoping to sign a contract extension before the season starts.

TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado joins SportsCentre to share his reaction to the comments made by Wild GM Bill Guerin Tuesday about how Quinn Hughes may not be impacted by the Cale Makar deal, and what that could mean for Hughes' future in Minnesota.
Wild general manager Bill Guerin said on SKOR North Radio from the Minnesota State Fair Monday that Quinn Hughes, who is eligible to sign a new deal, may not necessarily look to match Makar’s deal financially. “There’s a bar with Cale Makar signing that contract in Colorado, but Quinn might be after different things,” said Guerin. “He’s a different guy. He has a different personality and has different things in his life that are important to him. Who knows what he’s gonna want in the end?”
