This in from Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, news that the Oilers have put on waivers Markus Granlund and Brandon Manning. The Winnipeg Jets have also put on waivers goalie Eric Comrie. The Oilers are now below real .500, with 20 wins and 21 losses. Real .500 — as opposed to fake Bettman .500 where you don’t include overtime and shootout losses as real losses — is the general cutoff line for a playoff team. Granlund had played the 16th most ice time on the team, Manning 24th.
