He has been on the NHL roster for 30 days since he last cleared waivers IIRC. Didn't he clear waivers during the summer?
edit: yup. the last time he was on waivers was a few days before his arbitration hearing to weaken his arbitration case.

He has to clear waivers again to be assigned now. Otherwise the Leafs would have assigned him long ago.
