The Hinsdale, Ill., native is the son of former NHLer Kevin Dineen who recorded 760 points over a 1188 game career. Kevin was also let go from his role coaching the AHL's Utica Comets in November.
Dineen will be a nice depth addition for a Laval team looking to hold on to first place in the North Division.
The AHL trade and roster deadline is tomorrow Mar. 14 at 3pm EST.
