Calvin de Haan signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
The 31-year-old defenseman had eight points (four goals, four assists) in 69 games for the Chicago Blackhawks last season and was an unrestricted free agent. He had been in Hurricanes training camp on a professional tryout contract.
De Haan signed a four-year contract with the Hurricanes on July 3, 2018, scoring 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) in 74 games in 2018-19 before he was traded to the Blackhawks on June 25, 2019.
“We obviously knew Calvin from his previous time in Carolina,” Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said. “We like what we’ve seen from him in camp and saw this as an opportunity to increase our depth on the back end.”
Selected by the New York Islanders in the first round (No. 12) of the 2009 NHL Draft, de Haan has 119 points (19 goals, 100 assists) in 520 regular-season games with the Blackhawks, Hurricanes and Islanders, and five points (one goal, four assists) in 37 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
