"It will be great," head coach Jeremy Colliton said of de Haan's re-addition. "Obviously we've got to get him on the ice and go through camp and hopefully everything continues to progress as far as his health. I thought the games he did play, he's steady back there. He plays, I think, a hard game. He's not overly physical but he makes contact and he can get a stop in D-zone and very direct, makes simple plays with the puck, underhandles it, and he can make plays on the offensive blue line as well."
