The Edmonton Oilers say there is some interest in disgruntled defenceman Sheldon Souray, but it will be a waiting game to see if they can move him before the start of training camp.

A source tells Sportsnet there are a few teams making inquiries about Souray.

"That is why we put him on waivers," said Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini. "It was like putting an additional free agent on the market."

The 6-foot-4, 233-pound Souray was limited to 33 games last season because of concussion problems. He did, however, score 23 goals two seasons ago and had 26 goals for Montreal in 2006-07.

Souray, 33, has two years remaining on his contract at $4.5 million a season. If the Oilers are to move him, they would likely have to take similar money back in any deal.
