Blackhawks: Breaking Down the Calvin de Haan Trade
The Blackhawks have acquired defenseman Calvin de Haan and forward Aleksi Saarela from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for defenseman Gustav Forsling and goalie Anton Forsberg.
What a deal for the Blackhawks! If we’re being honest, this was a salary dump by the Hurricanes, but I’ll gladly take it. They owed us for that infamous Bryan Bickell and Teuvo Teravainen deal back in 2016.
The Hurricanes received a young defenseman in Gustav Forsling, who has some upside but hasn’t quite panned out in Chicago, and a depth goalie in Anton Forsberg.
