Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has claimed defenseman Petter Granberg on waivers from the Maple Leafs.

Granberg, 23, has yet to suit up in 2015-16 due to offseason surgery, but has eight NHL games to his credit with Maple Leafs and 126 AHL games with the Toronto Marlies since his first North American professional season in 2013-14. 

Toronto’s fourth selection, 116^th overall (fourth round), in the 2010 Entry Draft, Granberg helped team Sweden win the 2013 World Championship (along with Predators forward Calle Jarnkrok) and the 2012 World Junior Championship (along with Predators forward Filip Forsberg), as well as earning a silver medal at the 2010 World Under-18 Championship.

The Avalanche claimed forward Chris Wagner off waivers from the Ducks, according to an ESPN.com report on Sunday.

To make room on the roster, Colorado placed goaltender Semyon Varlamov on injured reserve with a groin injury.
