I'm happy for him

Stoked the Canucks went with Dekeyser instead

From the sounds of it De Haan chose the hurricanes over the Canucks. Players have a choice too

 

[PWJunior]

Good luck to CdH, there are many Isles fans who still remember him fondly and wish him the best.

True true… and I don’t blame him for avoiding the tire fire that is the Canucks

 

[Wally1112pac]

He can still play.

Good shot blocking D that can play 15 minutes a game.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Not the player he used to be, but still should be fine for a #6/7 role on Carolina. Hopefully with reduced minutes/load, he can stay healthy.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Damn was hoping Leafs grabbed him ( if they grabbed anyone off a pto ) . Still decent ish

 

[Daeavorn]

This move is huge. The canes have honestly struggled trying to replace this guy. Getting him for ao little in a 3LD role is going to help us a ton.

We havent been able to trust any of the guys we got to replace him and I think this is finally the year we go back to the finals.

 

[isles55]

Wanted the Islanders to take him back. He’s much better than Aho, Salo, or Cholowski.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He was decent when healthy but gets hurt early doesn't recover because he plays through injury and looked awful for Chicago.

Seems like a good dude so I hope it works out for him.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

This is a decent signing for a veteran 3rd pairing defender who is familiar with the Canes.

Calvin De Haan could be paired with the younger Dylan Coghlan on the 3rd pairing.

I guess that didn't work out.

Gardiner and Dehaan playing for the Canes in 2022-2023

Not something many were expecting

Slavin, Pesce, Burns, Skeji is still a really good top 4D core and then those two guys and Bear (if he's still on the canes) aren't bad 5-7D options

Canes lost Hamilton, Bean, Fleury, Deangelo over the past 2-3 years and still have a strong defensive core. Impressive

Gardiner isn't playing. He wasn't at camp and will be on LTIR.

Oh damn true. I thought he had been cleared off LTIR this year earlier. Guess not the case

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Oh damn true. I thought he had been cleared off LTIR this year earlier. Guess not the case

At the end of last season it was said that he was healthy and would play this year. He took part in a summer league and I guess it didn’t go so well. Strange situation.

Oh, and Bean and Fleury weren’t really a loss. They were never regulars for Carolina as neither really panned out (Fleury especially).

Technically we also lost Fox to get Hamilton, and we also lost Faulk. There was a hot minute where our D consisted of Fox (never signed)/Slavin/Pesce/Faulk/de Haan/Gardiner. Interestingly the only guy we lost who we could really use again is Faulk. Although if we were to magically have him we'd have 5 top 4 D.

So much of Carolina's competitiveness lately is locked up in Pesce's and Slavin's good contracts. It's a huge advantage that will be somewhat lost when they re-sign in 2/3 years.

Huh? We got him in the Hamilton trade. Then, like Calgary, we were never going to be able to sign him as he was only going to play for the Rags.

Not quite.
de Hann was traded on June 25th
Gardiner was signed on Sept 6
Faulk was traded on Sept 24

So CDH was gone before Gardiner was signed.

 

[Maple Leaf]

is this the guy who bailed during covid?

Not that I recall. Are you confusing him with Harmonic maybe?

Thank you I'm a moron. I don't know why I thought that. I remember thinking at the time that Fox was a decent prospect but I would have never guessed he'd be the most important player moved in that trade.

Correct.

That actually makes it much better as I had mistakenly thought that Fox went back for Hamilton. So we had Fox/Slavin/Hamilton/Pesce/Faulk/Gardiner at one point. Never would have worked because Fox wouldn't sign and that's too many top 4s, but it's the kind of thing that normally would only happen in NHL 2020 if you forced all GMs to accept your trades.

Yeah although if there was any chance of him signing with a team that wasn't the Rags I'd say there would've been no chance of the Flames including him. He got even better since that trade but at the time of the trade he was one of the top D prospects league wide. The Flames knew they couldn't sign him, we figured we could try so he was thrown in. Ferland and Hamilton were the bigger pieces for us.
