Not really, he was waived 3x this season. This happened to him in particular because he was the worst player in the NHL, and Phoenix needed to create a roster spot and it is the most obvious to clear that roster spot by getting rid of your worst player. I doubt the NHL can force a team to trade for a player. Wouldn't surprise me if Phoenix wants to distance themselves from this circus though.
