We obviously knew Calvin from his previous time in Carolina," said Waddell. "We like what we've seen from him in camp and saw this as an opportunity to increase our depth on the back end."
De Haan, 31, joined the Hurricanes for training camp on a professional tryout (PTO) contract and tallied an assist in his first preseason appearance at Florida on Sept. 29. The 6'1", 195-pound defenseman previously skated in 74 games with Carolina in 2018-19, tallying 14 points (1g, 13a) and leading all Hurricanes blueliners with 187 hits. De Haan has registered 119 points (19g, 100a) in 520 career NHL games with NY Islanders, Carolina and Chicago. The Carp, Ont., native has represented Canada at the IIHF World Junior Championships in 2010 and 2011 and the IIHF World Championship in 2017, winning silver at all three tournaments. De Haan was selected 12th overall by the Islanders in the 2009 NHL Draft.
