De Haan Critiques Rangers' Treatment Amid Scratches

Veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan has expressed frustration with the New York Rangers' treatment of him since being traded from the Colorado Avalanche, having been a healthy scratch for 18 consecutive games. De Haan described the situation as 'f----d' when speaking to the media but decided to wait until the season's end to discuss his grievances in detail, following a conversation with the Rangers' PR staff. Despite the limited opportunities, he performed well in the few games he played and highlighted his understanding of the NHL's youth movement, insisting he still has value to offer. His comments reflect broader dissatisfaction with the team's management and could affect the Rangers' reputation among potential free agents. De Haan, who will become an unrestricted free agent, seems unlikely to return to the Rangers next season.
