Former Chicago Blackhawk Calvin De Haanis having a difficult time adjusting to the New York Rangers organization, as he remains out of the lineup once again, thanks to Peter Laviolette, and has lashed out at the team.
The New York Rangers and GM Chris Drury seem to have created a toxic atmosphere in Madison Square Garden.
The fallout, which began at the beginning of the year with the trade of Jacob Trouba, has finally precipitated into the open.
It resulted when former Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Calvin de Haan letting loose and calling out the organization while speaking to New York Post's Mollie Walker in regard to how poorly he's been treated by the Rangers.
On March 1st, 2025, De Haan was a part of a packaged deal that sent Jimmy Vesey and Ryan Lindgren to Colorado.
In return, the Rangers received veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan, Juuso Parssinen, and two conditional 2025 picks.
Since then, he's had trouble staying in the Rangers' lineup and found himself as a healthy scratch.
He's only played 3 games under Head Coach Peter Laviolette, who favors other defenseman in the lineup at the moment.
This might just be part of his grievances, which were on display to reporter Peter Baugh today.
Calvin De Haan releases statement on the challenges he's faced with the New York Rangers
Quickly after practice ended, the longtime veteran took to social media to vent.
De Haan has played 679 games in the NHL and scored 149 points (24 goals, 125 assists), and was once a Chicago Blackhawk early in his career.
It's safe to assume we won't see him suiting up in New York Rangers colors again after the season is over.
