This is major gamble by Edm putting Lavoie on waivers. Montreal or team like SJ could claim him. They obviously felt he wasn't suited to fourth line with no PK or PP time and Erne when signed can be fourth liner
Lavoie and Pederson are Crucial Prospects for the Oilers
Fans have a right to be upset, as Lavoie was a star last year in the AHL, scoring 25 goals and 20 assists in 61 games played. Pederson was also a standout in the AHL last year, scoring 17 goals in 18 games played.
The Oilers are now at risk of having both prospects claimed.
