From TSN.ca --- It looks like Wade Redden won't be the only high-priced former NHL defenceman in the American Hockey League this season.
The Edmonton Oilers sent Sheldon Souray to the AHL on Wednesday, but in a twist, the club didn't send him to their own affiliate team.
The club first officially assigned Souray to their own club in Oklahoma City, and from there loaned him to the Hershey Bears.
Although Hershey is the top affiliate of the Washington Capitals, Souray will have no official connection with Alex Ovechkin's club.

Having assigned Souray to the AHL, the Oilers cannot trade or play Souray until he passes through re-entry waivers. Any team could claim him, splitting the remaining two years of Souray's contract ($4.5 million per year) and cap hit ($5.4 million per) with Edmonton.
The 34-year-old is still awaiting a trade after things went sour between him and the organization. Souray wasn't invited to training camp and has been working out on his own while the Oilers have been trying to find somewhere else for him to play.
