I only seen him play a couple of times for the Oilers back then so I don't really know much about him. According to a lot of people here at CP, he is a defensive liability and they were not happy with the signing. Being injured before the training camp might shy away some team in claiming him through waiver. I thought Boston let him go after last season so I don't see them going after him.
He was put on waiver because he probably just got off the injury list and need conditioning in the AHL. Is he better than Raphael Diaz? If he is, then he'll probably be back with the Flames as a 7th D. If not, then he'll be in Adirondack for the rest of the season unless they need to call up a defenseman due to injury.
