I actually liked the MPS pick at the time and thought he'd be good.
Another guy the Oilers rushed into their NHL lineup, had his best season as a rookie, the team failed to develop any further, and then washed out.

Interestingly, it seems they've developed Anton Lander well, their 2nd rounder from the draft where they took MPS. Became their #2C last year (lol) and had a hat trick last night.

Yeah they turned that one around.
Almost rushed him to the league to early too when he played 56 games in 11/12, but the limited his NHL stints after that and give him lots of time to develop in the AHL.
Will be a decent 3rd line option for them IMO.

How in the world is Butler on waivers? Did they try him with Bouwmeester?

Do any teams ever poach other players on waivers before the season? It seems like an unwritten code amongst GMs to stand aside.

We already had 1 this season. The Lightning claimed Poulin from the Islanders a few days ago.

Most teams are healthy, have full rosters and the guys being waived are marginal. You only really see claims if a team has a sudden hole due to injury - as happened with Tampa - or if someone who is a clear upgrade drops onto the wire.

Between the waiver wire over the last few days, and the Avalanche game, it really shows just what type of rough shape the Flames were in not long ago. Thank you Jay Feaster, thank you Brian Burke, thank you Brad Treliving, thank you Bob Hartley, thank you Mark Giordano.

In Potter's case, it's actually not a completely negative sign - he earned a contract with Arizona based on his camp, but will start the year in the AHL.

off-topic, but not worth a thread...
Know who wasn't on waivers and is one of the final 23 players on his team?
Tim Erixon.

Yeah-my question too.
Got to wonder if this is a sign of Pittsburgh's recent difficulties with depth in their lineup.
I'm actually not taking as deep of a swipe at Erixon as tends to occur, but, given that he's struggled for so long with so many different teams to be an NHL regular, you wonder if he'll EVER stick ANYWHERE...and if this is more representative of Pittsburgh attempting to throw a few D-Men into the opening roster to see who maybe surprises...
