Calvin de Haan wanted to \u201cput the fire out\u201d and address a situation that, from his vantage point, has been blown out of proportion.<\/p>\n
Three days after the 33-year-old defenseman lambasted the way the Rangers have treated him since arriving via a midseason trade as \u201cf\u2013ked,\u201d de Haan said his frustration mostly stemmed from being a healthy scratch for the last 19 games entering Thursday\u2019s season-finale vs. the Lightning.<\/p>\n
The situation occurred as de Haan was about to step onto the ice for an optional practice Sunday in Sunrise, Fla.<\/p>\n
He originally confirmed that he wanted to talk with reporters before speaking with the Rangers PR staff and delaying it, The Post\u2019s Mollie Walker reported at the time.<\/p>\n
He posted about the exchange on X later that day.<\/p>\n
De Haan revealed Wednesday that he also called president and general manager Chris Drury and \u201ctried to do the honorable thing and just tell him sorry, I didn\u2019t mean to belittle anyone or drag the organization through the mud.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a long month for me,\u201d de Haan said. \u201cThey asked me if I was frustrated, and maybe I should\u2019ve chosen my words a little better, frankly, but it was a long month for me. At the end of the day, I just wanted a chance to compete. I understand I\u2019m not a top-four, $10 million guy anymore in this league, and I might not have huge impact on the games.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I still want to play and be out there and go to war with the guys. That\u2019s pretty much it at the end of the day. I wish I would\u2019ve had a chance to say my thoughts in a scrum, more or less.\u201d<\/p>\n
After arriving with Juuso P\u00e4rssinen in the March trade that sent Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey to the Avalanche, de Haan skated in his first three games with the Rangers, logged at least 14 minutes of ice time in each and even tallied an assist in his Blueshirts debut.<\/p>\n
But Laviolette has kept de Haan in the press box since, though de Haan acknowledged that he knows it\u2019s \u201cnothing personal\u201d and just the business of the sport.<\/p>\n
De Haan will be a free agent this offseason, and while he said he still wants to play and earn his contracts, he doesn\u2019t know where the fit could be.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou gotta be realistic,\u201d de Haan said. \u201cI\u2019m getting older in hockey years, and I\u2019ve been on one-year deals the past few years \u2026 We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
