The Ottawa Senators are actively seeking to trade Alex Formenton as they navigate a complex situation regarding their roster and salary cap. Once viewed as a promising forward, Formenton's future in Ottawa has become uncertain, particularly after missing the entire last season due to off-ice issues. The Senators are now in a position where they need to shed salary and optimize their lineup before the upcoming season.
General Manager Pierre Dorion has indicated that moving Formenton would not only help with the salary cap but also allow the team to explore other options in free agency. His absence last season has left a gap in the Senators' offensive depth, and management is keeping a close eye on potential trade partners who might be interested in a change of scenery for the 23-year-old.
The Senators' strategy appears to involve balancing their need for immediate roster improvements with the potential long-term benefits of trading Formenton. While some fans hold hope for his return, the organization's recent moves suggest they are prepared to make difficult decisions in pursuit of a more competitive team.
As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on Ottawa to see if they can successfully maneuver Formenton's situation and enhance their roster ahead of the new season. With many teams looking to bolster their own lineups, the Senators may find an opportunity to strike a deal that benefits both parties involved.
