If you look around the league, it's not uncommon for late first round or 2nd round picks to not be good enough to crack the league by the time they become waiver eligible. He's not the first and he won't be the last.
If some team wants to take a chance on him, that's fair play. This, along with the salary cap, is how talent gets redistributed throughout the league. If he's good enough on another team that claims him, great, then he finally earned an NHL job, but I have my doubts. The fact remains that many waiver claims usually go back on waivers within a year or so. There's a reason a lot of players pass through waivers.
Don't sweat it. We have plenty of players in the organization that are already better than Pelletier at a younger age. Just let the process play itself out.
