Nigel Dawes' brief stay in Phoenix has come to an end.
The 24-year old was claimed off of waivers by the Calgary Flames on Thursday.
Dawes, who is a restricted free agent, 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.
His arbitration case with the Flames will be heard next Wednesday, if the Flames don't sign him before then.
Dawes has some history with Flames coach Brent Sutter, who he played for at the World Juniors.
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.
