Ottawa Senators part ways with Alex Formenton ahead of free agency

The Ottawa Senators have ended their relationship with forward Alex Formenton, confirming he will become a free agent on July 1st. Sources indicate the team removed the 26-year-old from their free agent list last month and filed the necessary paperwork with the league on May 8. Formenton has been at the center of trade discussions following his involvement in the 2018 World Juniors controversy. As he heads into free agency, it remains to be seen if he will attract interest from NHL or AHL teams this offseason.
