Alex Formenton is joining the Knights at the right time.
He had an exciting and successful run with the Ottawa Senators.
Formenton will get quality Top 6 Minutes with the following London Knights:
Robert Thomas............1st Round Pick St. Louis Blues 2017
Max Jones.......................1st Round Pick Anaheim Ducks 2016
Cliff Pu..............................3rd Round Pick Buffalo Sabres 2016
Sam Miletic...................Recently Signed by Pittsburgh to ELC & is OA
Tyler Rollo......................Recently acquired by London & is an OA
This group has plenty of speed and skill.
Formenton will help to bring the group together and produce on the board.
As you know, Formenton has explosive speed along with a 'high motor' and edge.
I'm sure he's learned a lot playing and practising with one of the best teams in the NHL.
The Ottawa Senators have totally impressed with their team speed, passing and skill level.
They spanked the Oilers and Flames soundly on their rinks!
The 'team play' of the Senators is the template every team should model.
What to do in the OHL?
Perform at a high rate in critical situations including PP, PK and Even Strength.
Play a 'team game' that will produce Wins and high point totals for everyone.
Formenton is a very welcomed player at the very right time.
Ottawa Senator's Scouting Staff found a gem at the 47th Pick in this years NHL draft!
He's a character guy who'll continue to have a great season.
Look for Alex Formenton to play for Team Canada in the WJC.
