2025 Projections
Signed a three-month contract with Ambri-Piotta HC (Switzerland) in October of 2023.
Reportedly ends hockey career
Formenton (personal) is not pursuing a hockey contract in 2024-25 while awaiting a September 2025 trial for charges of sexual assault from an alleged incident that occurred during a 2018 Hockey Canada event, Steve Warne of The Hockey News reports.
ANALYSIS
Two of the other players facing charges from that incident, Dillon Dube and Michael McLeod, have signed KHL contracts for 2024-25. Formenton is instead working in construction, and given that he is two years removed from any NHL action, it is unlikely he will resume his playing career once his trial is complete. Ontario Superior Court Justice Bruce Thomas said, "It is clear each of the applicants has a need to work or find work not only to sustain themselves, but to pay their expenses, which at this point include legal fees." Formenton will remain on the Senators' reserve list as an unsigned player until his signing rights lapse Sept. 13, 2026. All four of the other players facing charges were effectively released by their teams in June when none of them received a qualifying offer, but Formenton's status is different since he has played overseas the last two seasons while not signed to an NHL contract.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2020
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
Up against deadline
Formenton remains unsigned with the deadline for him to be eligible to play in the NHL this season looming, Ian Mendes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Formenton is a restricted free agent and if he doesn't sign by 5 p.m. EST on Thursday, then he will be forced to miss the full 2022-23 NHL campaign even if he signs with Ottawa before the season's conclusion. With the deadline right around the corner, it seems likely that the 23-year-old forward won't reach an agreement with the Senators in time. That said, there's always the possibility of a last minute signing or trade. He had 18 goals, 32 points and 59 PIM in 79 games last season.
