While under investigation, Canadian forward leaves NHL for Europe

"Formenton's situation compared to last season remains unchanged. The club is aware that there is an ongoing investigation and to date there has been no charge nor conviction against the player. The Biancoblù club reserves the right to review the contractual situation with the player should new elements emerge.

The player, for his part, has the possibility of returning to the NHL at any time if the second investigation were to resolve like the first with nothing done. Out of respect for the ongoing investigations, the player and club will not release further statements on the situation."
