Calvin de Haan wanted to “turn off the fire” and address a situation that, from his point of view, has been disproportionate.
Three days after the 33 -year -old defense criticized the way in which the Rangers have treated him since they arrived through a half -season exchange such as “F Ked,” from Haan said that his frustration voted mainly to be a healthy scratch during the last 19 games El Lightning.
The situation occurred when Haan was about to climb to ice for an optional practice on Sunday at dawn, fla.
Originally confirmed that he wanted to talk to journalists before talking with the public relations staff of the Rangers and delay it, Mollie Walker of the post reported at that time.
He published about the exchange in X later that day.
Haan revealed on Wednesday that he also called the president and general manager Chris Dury and “tried to do the honorable and simply tell him, I’m sorry, I didn’t want to belittle anyone or drag the organization through the mud.”
“It was a long month for me,” said of Haan. “They asked me if I was frustrated, and maybe I should choose my words a little better, frankly, but it was a long month for me. At the end of the day, I just wanted to have the opportunity to compete. Great impact on the games.
“But still because to play and be there and go to war with the boys. That’s all at the end of the day. I wish I had the opportunity to say my thoughts in a scrum, more or less.”
After arriving with Juuso Pärssinen in the March exchange that sent Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey to the avalanche, from Haan skated in his first three games with the Rangers, he recorded at least 14 minutes of ice time on debut.
But Laviolette has kept De Haan in the press box since then, he thought that Haan acknowledged that he knows that he is not “personal” and only the sports business.
Haan will be a free agent in this low season, and although he said he still has chickens to play and win his contracts, no?
“You have to be realistic,” said of Haan. “I am getting old in the hockey years, and I have bones in one year offers in recent years … we’ll see.”
