Shoulder surgery limited de Haan to 34 games in 2009-10, but he was named captain for the 2010-11 season and finished with 42 assists and 48 points in 55 games.

The New York Islanders traded up twice before selecting de Haan with the No. 12 pick in the 2009 NHL Draft. He was among the last cuts at training camp that fall before being returned to Oshawa of the Ontario Hockey League.

Shoulder surgery limited de Haan to 34 games in 2009-10, but he was named captain for the 2010-11 season and finished with 42 assists and 48 points in 55 games.

De Haan twice represented Canada at the World Junior Championship, winning silver in 2010 and 2011.

De Haan made his NHL debut with the Islanders on Dec. 15, 2011, but spent the rest of that season and all of 2012-13 with Bridgeport of the American Hockey League. He had shoulder injuries in each season and needed surgery after being hurt three games into 2012-13.

But de Haan was healthy going into the 2013-14 season, and after 17 games in the AHL, the Islanders recalled him on Nov. 30, 2013. He scored his first NHL goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Jan. 7, 2014.

De Haan established himself as a solid defenseman in his own zone, with puck-moving ability and willingness to block shots. After six seasons with New York, de Haan signed a four-year contract as a free agent with the Carolina Hurricanes on July 3, 2018. The Hurricanes traded him to the Chicago Blackhawks on June 25, 2019.
