Flyers Re-Sign Lauridsen to Two-Year Contract
Yesterday, the Flyers re-signed defenseman Oliver Lauridsen to a two-year contract. As was the case with the contract signed last summer by Marc-Andre Bourdon, the first year of Lauridsen's deal is a two-way contract, the second year is one-way.
At the NHL level, Lauridsen's deal will pay at a $600,000 full-season salary scale in each of the next twos season. At the AHL level, he will get a raise on the $65,000 salary paid under his entry-level contract. Year two of the deal pays $600,000 regardless of whether Lauridsen plays in the NHL or AHL.
Lauridsen has one season of waiver exemption remaining. That means he would not have to clear waivers to be sent to the Phantoms next season. In year two, he would have to clear waivers before being assigned to the AHL. However, his salary will fall below the threshold at which any money would count against the Flyers' salary cap if he were to be waived, unclaimed and assigned to the AHL in 2014-15.
