Emerson Etem is returning to the team that drafted him.
The forward has been claimed off waivers by the Anaheim Ducks from the Vancouver Canucks, as first reported by Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Etem failed to crack the Canucks' opening-night roster and had been placed on waivers for the purpose of being assigned to the AHL.
The 29th overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft split last season between the Rangers and Canucks following three years with the Ducks. Altogether, he has appeared in 170 career games, with 22 goals and 24 assists to his credit.
