Yes you can. But you have to pass him through waivers again. And, IIRC, any teams that put in a claim the first time around get first refusal on the second waiver.
It's a moot point though. You don't claim someone like Erixon in the hopes he helps the AHL team. You claim him because you think he can give you more than Wotherspoon (first demotion) and then Potter (second demotion when Gio is healthy) and Engelland (sixth D; first year of a three-year contract) could.
Calgary doesn't seem to be a fit, really.
