Chicago Blackhawks‘ 9th year defenseman Calvin de Haan(44) gets traded in the offseason after only one season of a 4-year deal with Carolina Hurricanes scoring a goal and 13 assists with a +1 rating before appearing in a career high 12 playoff games adding one tally.
After 7 campaigns in draft club New York Islanders‘ system, he’s played exclusively in the NHL since 2014/2015 but has yet to open up scoring like he did in his first and third year of juniors with Oshawa Generals of the OHL but always seems to be a threat and is mostly a + rating player.
The 28-year old may be ready to assume a top four role and some consistent increased minutes.
