Oilers' Mark Fraser: On waiver wire
Mark Fraser was placed on waivers by the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.Fraser spent the entire 2015-16 campaign in the minors and looks to be on the same trajectory for the upcoming season. Selected in the third round of the 2005 NHL Draft by New Jersey, the blueliner notched just seven points last year, but added 136 PIM, nearly doubling his career total. Even if he gets the occasional call-up, the 30-year-old will likely go unnoticed by most fantasy owners.

Fraser Credited With Assist In Devils Win
Fraser was credited with an assist, four hits, and four blocked shots in Tuesday's win over the Predators.The improved play of Eric Gelinas has cost Fraser a regular lineup spot in recent weeks, but he's at least been able to draw back in for the last three games. He's not been totally useless during that time with nine PIM and eight hits in addition to the assist, but the general lack of offensive production throughout his career puts a definite ceiling on his fantasy value.
