Oilers waive Puljejarvi

On the final year of a 3 mil contract (RFA). Jesse Puljejarvi was once upon a time second highest prospect to Mathews ahead of Laine.  He dropped to 4th behind dubois when Edmonton grabbed him. 
No way he is an oiler after today so I am sure a non starter for Toronto. Still, if they could land him, he would make a nice reclamation project and a decent third line RW. Worst case they let him walk at the end of the year but didn't give up anything but cap space to get him.

I thought Puljejarvi just needed a change of scenery out of Edmonton. We'll see.

Not sure why they didn't try trading him for a least a draft pick or simply the "future considerations"

I wouldn't mind taking a chance a him, but on waivers I'm sure he'd be gone before the Leafs had a chance to make a claim.

Lets hope the hawks or jackets grab him because you know Montreal is putting in a claim.

Couldn't find any info on this.

I was sort of thinking along the same lines of Puljejarvi and the Leafs when I heard the Oilers put him on waivers.
