Senators trade Alex Chiasson to Flames
The Ottawa Senators have dealt forward Alex Chiasson to the Calgary Flames for defensive farmhand Patrick Sieloff, the teams announced Monday.
Chiasson - who was expected to be traded during the NHL draft - heads to Calgary after a disappointing second season with the Senators, where he recorded just eight goals and six assists in 77 games.
A pending restricted free agent, the 25-year-old also reportedly signed a one-year contract with the Flames worth $800,000 after making $1.2 million last season, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
He will be reunited with head coach Glen Gulutzan, who coached Chiasson during the forward's first NHL season with the Dallas Stars in 2012-13.
Sieloff, a 2012 second-round pick, scored a goal in his NHL debut last season with the Flames. The 6-foot-1 blue-liner spent the rest of the season with the AHL's Stockton Heat, recording 11 points in 52 games.
