History
2008-09: This marked de Haan’s first year in the OHL. As a blue-liner for the Oshawa Generals he put up decent numbers, recording eight goals and 63 points in 68 games. Registered an assist for the East at the OHL All-Star Classic. Played in the 2009 CHL Top Prospects Game and on Team Canada in the U18 world championships.
HF's January 2009 Q&A with de Haan.
2009-10: In an injury riddled campaign, de Haan would only dress for 34 games, scoring 24 points for Oshawa. He would also suit up for Canada at the World Juniors, adding an assist.
2010-11: De Haan showed no ill effects from the shoulder injury that ended his previous year and was one of the top defenseman in junior hockey - both for the OHL Oshawa Generals and with Team Canada. As the team captain for Oshawa, de Haan was a steadying force on the back end while contributing 42 assists, tops among Oshawa defensemen. He also scored 6 goals with 48 PMs and was +13 for an Oshawa club that finished second in the East Division after missing the OHL playoffs in de Haan's first two seasons. Playing for Team Canada at the 2011 World Junior U-20 tournament, de Haan was an assistant captain and was +2 with 5 assists in six games for the silver medal squad.
Talent Analysis
de Haan is a solid offensive defenseman who makes an excellent first pass and runs the power play. de Haan's greatest attribute is his outstanding skating. His fluid stride and quick feet allow him to play sound positional defense -- and make up for any mistakes he may make. Physicality isn't his strong suit right now with his slight frame, but he makes excellent decisions with the puck and interviewed well at the NHL Combine.
Future
First or second pairing offensive defenseman in the NHL.
