Avalanche's Calvin de Haan: First helper with new team
Rotowire
De Haan logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The 33-year-old defenseman has a helper, five blocked shots, three hits and a minus-2 rating through his first two games with the Avalanche. De Haan has been fending off Oliver Kylington and John Ludvig for a spot on the third pairing alongside Sam Malinski after signing a one-year deal with Colorado in July. De Haan has just one 20-point campaign to his name, so he's unlikely to turn into a dynamo on offense in 2024-25.

Avalanche's Calvin de Haan: Signs one-year deal
Rotowire
De Haan signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with the Avalanche on Monday, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
De Haan had three goals, 10 points, 96 hits and 82 blocked shots in 59 regular-season appearances with the Lightning in 2023-24. The 33-year-old should be in the mix for a third-pairing role, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up as Colorado's seventh defenseman on the depth chart.

Lightning's Calvin de Haan: Needs contract for next season
Rotowire
De Haan becomes a free agent this offseason.
The veteran defender, who inked a one-year deal for $775,000 last summer, put up three goals and seven assists in 59 games this season. De Haan was scratched for nine of the Lightning's last 11 games, despite putting up an assist in each of the two games played. He played in one postseason game in 2023-24, delivering two blocked shots and one hit in 10:50 of ice time. At his best, de Haan could give you triple-digit hits and blocked shots, but he needs to ink a contract this summer. He'll soon be 33, and the journeyman may struggle to find a suitor. He hasn't played a full season since 2016-17 for the Islanders.

Lightning's Calvin de Haan: Struggling to find consistency
Rotowire
De Haan fired three shots Saturday in a 5-3 win over Florida.
De Haan has just three goals and five assists in 54 games this season after tallying 12 points in 53 games with Carolina last year. He has been a healthy scratch in three of the Bolts' five games in March after a stretch in mid-February when he dressed just once in a six-game span. De Haan needs to be on the ice with greater consistency before he produces. As a result, his fantasy value is negligible.

Lightning's Calvin de Haan: Better on ice than in fantasy arena
Rotowire
De Haan had one shot and two hits in 14:39 of ice time in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets on Wednesday.
He and Nick Perbix continue to log the lowest ice time of all of the Bolts' defenders, and they continue to deliver meager point totals as well. De Haan hasn't put up a point in eight contests, and he remains far more valuable on the ice than in fantasy.

Hurricanes' Calvin de Haan: Rare goal in Friday OT win
Rotowire
De Haan scored his second goal of the season in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.
De Haan took advantage of a juicy rebound given up by the Sharks' netminder James Reimer to tie the score at 1-1 in the first period. Nevertheless, de Haan remains a permanent fixture on the Canes' third line, and with just nine points on the season so far (2G, 7A), isn't likely to garner much fantasy attention in most formats.

Hurricanes' Calvin de Haan: More efficient this season
Rotowire
De Haan secured an assist in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.
De Haan's secondary helper helped him match his offensive total from last season, when he produced only eight points through 69 games for Chicago. But this time, with Carolina, he's done it in 34 fewer games, and despite the team switch resulting in a six-minute drop in ice time. The Hurricanes are utilizing de Haan on the third defensive pair in his second stint with the team.

Hurricanes' Calvin de Haan: Supplies helper in victory
Rotowire
De Haan collected an assist Thursday, contributing to a 3-2 win over the Kraken.
While he's been known to hit the scoresheet every now and then, de Haan's specialty comes in the form of blocked shots and hits; he's racked up 24 and 39 of those, respectively, through 22 games. An undisclosed issue sapped de Haan's momentum early in the season, and he's been relegated to third-pairing duty in his second stint with the Hurricanes, so fantasy managers can safely leave him on the waiver wire for the time being.

Hurricanes' Calvin de Haan: Buries first goal
Rotowire
De Haan scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.

The 31-year-old defenseman hasn't exceeded the 15-point mark in the last five years, so he shouldn't be counted on for offense. He has four shots on net, seven hits, four PIM and three blocked shots in four appearances this year as a third-pairing option.
