De Haan signs 1-year contract with Lightning

Calvin de Haan signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday.

The 32-year-old defenseman had 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in 53 regular-season games for the Carolina Hurricanes last season and did not play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Selected by the New York Islanders with the No. 12 pick in the 2009 NHL Draft, de Haan has 131 points (21 goals, 110 assists) in 573 regular-season games for the Islanders, Chicago Blackhawks and Hurricanes, and five points (one goal, four assists) in 37 playoff games.

"It wasn't too hard of a decision to sign the contract with Tampa," de Haan said. "The success they've had over the past 10 years, it's a great organization, just being on the opposing side for a few years now. Going into that building, it's one of my favorite rinks to play in. I'm just looking forward to starting a new adventure with a new team.

"I'm not a step behind. I can still play, I know I can. It was a bit of a frustrating season in a sense last year after getting scratched for a long time. I'm looking forward to a new opportunity and showing what I can do and going in on a clean slate in the organization."
