If it doesn't work out you simply put him back on waivers... Nothing really to lose here.

There is a business side aspect which has some significant downside:
He is signed next year and will count towards the 50 contract limit next season if he isn't claimed again.
His cap hit is above the buried salary threshold. Meaning if he were to be assigned to the AHL, he will still count $850k against the cap.
Having to pay $2 million salary for a player in the AHL.
