Good morning, I am sure most of you were surprised with Liam Reddox signing yesterday, I know I was. I was in contact this morning to see how it actually transpired. Here is what happened:
1. Oilers offered Liam Reddox a 2 way deal with the same cap hit as he got (560 K) but for a multi-year contract.
2. Liam Reddox wanted a 1 way deal therefore rejecting the deal and decided to look elsewhere.
3. After a few weeks of looking for a place to play (Sweden, KHL, Germany) and not garnering much interest he decided to call back the Oilers as a last resort and they worked out a contract which included the 2 way contract like the Oilers wanted, but the Oilers also gave something that Reddox wanted a One year deal.
So with Reddox "crawling" back to the Oilers, he got a pretty fair deal. If he can really show the Oilers that he cna be a useful player for them, maybe he gets a bigger raise next year.
Time will tell on this one
