The Pittsburgh Penguins' recent decision to place veteran defenseman Ryan Graves on waivers, as mentioned by insider Elliotte Friedman, is one that Steve Yzerman should at least consider claiming. It's the second time Graves has been placed on waivers this season, the first time going unclaimed. The Penguins needed to open up a roster spot after trading for Yegor Chinakhov from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
