Weird they wouldn't trade him for a pick

Another team wouldn't want to jump the gun in case something more enticing came along these final waiver wires.
I doubt anyone would give a pick...more likely an undesirable contract in the minors to offset the actual $$ and contract slot. And even then a GM might be reluctant to have the trade on their resume when there is any chance the outgoing player (Valimaki in this case) could potentially turn into something.
