Longtime NHL Veteran's Career Reaches New Low Following Outburst Towards The New York Rangers
Longtime NHL veteran and former New York Rangers defenseman's career reaches an all time low following a recent outburst towards the Rangers organization.
According to recent reports from Expressen, former New York Rangers defenseman and NHL veteran Calvin de Haan, seems to heading overseas after he "is not interested in playing in the AHL."
The 34-year old defenseman's agent says that de Haan has been entertaining the idea of bring his services to Europe, as an apparent deal is in the works with Brynäs IF of the Swedish SHL.
Clavin de Haan's tenure in the the National Hockey League hasn't quite ending on the note he was hoping for, as he was acquired by the New York Rangers in a trade that sent Jimmy Vesey and Ryan Lindgren to the Colorado Avalanche.
Clavin de Haan Not Happy With The New York Rangers
However, after joining the New York Rangers, de Haan only played three games with the organization, and had no hesitation to voice his displeasure with being sidelined.
"How about the way I've been treated here? It's f**ked,"
The veteran then quickly took to social media and expressed his frustration with how the New York Rangers treated him.
"I said what I said because I am frustrated, and any competitor who says that they would be happy in this position would be lying to you. After playing 3 games for the team and going 2-0-1, I thought I maybe would have got an opportunity to jump into the lineup and help win some games."
With that being said, it seems like de Haan will be wrapping up his NHL career after playing 679 games played, 1,344 hits and 1,317 blocked shots, in 18:27 average ice time. Split between several organizations such as the Carolina Hurricanes (twice), the Chicago Blackhawks, the Tampa Bay Lightning, and finally last season split between the Colorado Avalanche and the New York Rangers.
