Calvin de Haan spoke to Rangers’ Chris Drury after shocking ‘f–ked’ comments

Calvin De Hahn wanted to “put the fire out,” and in his advantage he wanted to deal with a situation that was disproportionately blown away.

Three days after the 33-year-old defensive man blamed the way the Rangers dealt with him since he arrived as “f-ked” via midseason deals, he said his complaints mostly stemmed from a healthy scar in the last 19 games that entered the season finale vs. The Lightning on Thursday.

Things happened as De Hahn was about to step into the ice for Sunday’s option practice in Sunrise, Florida.

He originally confirmed he wanted to talk to the Rangers PR staff to talk to reporters before delaying it, Molly Walker of the Post reported at the time.

He posted about the exchange to X later that day.

De Hahn also called on Wednesday, president and general manager Chris Drury, who revealed that “I tried to do something honorable and just said I’m sorry, and that no one was going to disrespect him or drag the organization into the mud.”

“It was a long month for me,” De Hahn said. “They asked if I was frustrated, and maybe I should have chosen my words a little better and candidly, but that was a long month for me. At the end of the day, I just wanted the opportunity to compete.

“But I still want to play, be there and go to war with the guys. That’s pretty much that at the end of the day. I wish I had the opportunity to say my thoughts, more or less, my thoughts.”

After arriving with Juso Persinen in the March trade, after sending Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Wiesey to the avalanche, De Hahn skated in the first three games with the Rangers, recording at least 14 minutes of ice time in each, and assisting in his blues shirt debut.

However, while Laviolet keeps DeHaan in the press box, DeHaan admits that it is “nothing personal” and that he knows it is just a sports business.

De Hahn will become a free agent this offseason and he still says he wants to play and win his contract, but he doesn’t know where the fit is.

“You have to be realistic,” De Haan said. “I’m older in the hockey era, and I’ve been involved in a year’s deal for the past few years.
