Blackhawks defenseman Calvin de Haan was admittedly surprised that he wasn’t traded ahead of Monday’s deadline, and he’s treating the final few weeks of the season as a “mini-tryout.”
It didn't seem like de Haan was too stressed out during deadline day. He tried to pass the time by playing some Xbox before leaving for the airport, even though he wasn't entirely sure he'd be part of Chicago's upcoming road trip.
"Did everything think Brandon Hagel was going to get traded? Probably not. It was a weird few days for everybody. But at the end of the day, I'm happy to be a Chicago Blackhawk. We really enjoy being here." "You've got to still be a pro and guys are trying to make impressions. It doesn't matter if you're UFA or restricted or you have a 10 or eight-year deal, it doesn't make a difference. You've still got to obviously go to work every day. It is what it is."
