Kozak, who recorded 44 points in 43 games for Laredo after being mutually released from his Stingrays contract, was traded to the Oilers in exchange for two Tulsa players and may join up with Riddle, who last season scored 22 goals and 39 points in 52 games after leaving the Rays.
The pair became good friends whilst at the Stingrays and were rumoured to have caused various off-ice problems for former coach Rick Strachan.
Those issues subsequently came to a head just nine games into the Stingrays season, with Riddle having received numerous miscounduct penalties and having scored just four points, Strachan released the forward.
Kozak, who received a ten game ban in the teams first game of the season following an incident which resulted in Nottingham Panthers forward Marc Levers requiring 12 stitches to the forehead, then followed him out of the door after mutually agreeing to end his contract with owners Mike and Sue Pack.
Whilst rumours suggested that Kozak had been allowed to leave after expressing his anger at Riddle being sacked, others suggested that further off-ice troubles had forced the Stingrays hand.
Should Riddle re-sign in Oklahoma, the pair will team up again at the 17,000 capacity BOK Center in Tulsa for the 09/10 CHL season which begins in October.
