Former ICE Captain Nigel Dawes has been claimed off waivers by the Calgary Flames.
This re-unites him with former ICE Head Coach Ryan McGill who will be in his 1st year as a Flames' Assistant.
McGill coached him for only 1 year and that was in 01-02 season when the 16-year-old Dawes scored 15 goals in the regular season, 9 in the playoffs and 1 in the Memorial Cup.
Dawes was one of 20 players that filed for salary arbitration earlier this month. He was reportedly looking for a one-way deal for less than $1 million, but was instead put on waivers by the Coyotes.
Phoenix acquired Dawes, as well as Dmitri Kalinin and Petr Prucha, for Derek Morris at the trade deadline.
In 64 combined games with the New York Rangers and the Coyotes, Dawes scored 10 goals and 11 assists.
