No, he wasn't.

7 players were claimed off waivers in the preseason last year.

1. Danick Martel was claimed from the Flyers by Tampa.
2. Jean-Sébastien Dea was claimed from the Penguins by New Jersey (he was later reclaimed by the Pens).
3. Pontus Åberg was claimed from the Oilers by Anaheim (he was put back on waivers a week later and went unclaimed).
4. Remi Elie was claimed from the Stars by Buffalo (he was later placed on waivers again and went unclaimed).
5. Dmitrij Jaskin was claimed from the Blues by Washington.
6. Curtis McElhinney was claimed from the Leafs by Carolina.
7. Calvin Pickard was claimed from the Leafs by Philly (he was later waived again and claimed by Arizona).
