The Oilers waived Granlund for the purpose of reassignment to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Granlund has been a healthy scratch often lately, playing just three of the past eight games. The 26-year-old has just four points over 31 NHL games this season, but perhaps the Oilers are hoping he'll slip through waivers to land in Bakersfield, where he can continue to work on his game.
