Wild put Matt Cooke on waivers for buy-out purposes

The Wild, looking to clear cap space this offseason, has placed veteran Matt Cooke on waivers. If he clears, the next route would be a buyout.
Cooke, 36, who had an injury-ravaged season and was limited to only 29 regular-season games and seven playoff games, has one more year left on his contract at a $2.5 million cap hit with a $3 million salary.
I'm expecting to talk to his agent soon. GM Chuck Fletcher couldn't be reached for comment.
As I reported last week on my podcast with Jim Souhan, Cooke was being shopped heading into draft week.
I'll also be back soon with a blog update on a number of other Wild topics.
