I was looking for a source/link that he had cleared re-entry waivers as I could not locate one.
I was aware of the conditions of the pick.
I'm guessing this is one of those situations that had Schneider been claimed on re-entry waivers that would have been reported by someone like Bob McKenzie.
It's pretty safe to say that he's cleared waivers since it was NOT reported that he had been claimed.
There was virtually no chance of him being claimed anyway. Anyone who picked him up after the deadline couldn't have put him on their roster and I don't think too many owners are keen on paying Schneider to sit at home just to keep him off the Coyotes.
No source, but no news is good news in this case. Waiver pickups have to be announced before 12pm EST if I recall correctly.
Other players clearing waivers who were put on at the same time have been announced as clearing and being assigned or placed on the active rosters as of March 5. For example Sabourin was placed on recall waivers at the same time as Schneider.

Boston Recalled forward Brad Marchand and goaltender Dany Sabourin from Providence (AHL); assigned goaltender Matt Dalton to Providence.
Montreal Recalled forward Ben Maxwell from Hamilton (AHL).
He's playing for the Salmon Kings, with one game for the Moose, this year, so it's not like he's doing anything different than he would be if the Canucks had retained his rights.
We should have claimed him on re-entry waivers. Then Bettman would have had to pay half his salary and we would have received Zimmerman for nothing (probably what he is worth). Then send him back to Manitoba to ride the bus the rest of the year.

There's players' code and then there's GM code (Kevin Lowe need not to apply). Besides, no Canuck wanted to see him back in that state of the art locker room.

Was the 6th round pick for this years draft, or 2011?
If wikipedia is correct, it is 2010. Scroll down to conditional pick information. I am still amazed we got anything for Schneider who passed through waivers, 2 months ago. Looks like we will have to find some late round gems this draft.

Yes it is a 6th round pick in 2010.
::Edit::
By the way...Botchford was the first to report this.
Unfortunately I rather have the cap space available that Schneider took up than the 6th round pick.
Gillis may have been able to be more flexible in acquiring other players (via trades or during the off-season).
Oh, absolutely. It was one of the very few scouting errors (or character evaluation mistakes, since Schneider didn't really play that badly) Gillis has made, and really his only mistake of the last offseason.
But all things considered, to bail out of the mistake and get a pick for it isn't bad.

Yeah, he did well to clean it up. But I hope this practice of cronyism is just a coincidence on his UFA signings, because in this one it looks to have clouded his judgment.
