The deal amounts to the maximum allowed under the CBA, with a base salary of $900,000 a season and bonuses of up to $600,000 per season, meaning the contract could be worth $4.5 million.
Details and quotes from Calvin de Haan's deal via the Ottawa Citizen. His brother is ready for him to buy him new stuff.

In other words
DeHaan will be rushed to join the big club next season.
Oh Lordy
Please young Master de Haan, don’t be intimidated into sheepishness. We already have… well, pretty much the entire blue line except wee F Myer IV doin’ that.
(it’s easy to be negative in May with no post season. My tune will change in September.)

Addendum
Mac D brought the whoopass, too. I appologize.

I. Love. Fearless Freddy.
He’s become one of my favorite Islanders.

There is no negative to this signing at all. And there is no reason that a signing means he will be with the Isles. Teams do this ALL the time, its perfectly normal.
That Ottawa Citizen article is good, BTW. :)
Let Us Go, Islanders! (Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)
Not if he doesn’t make — and stick — with the team. These entry-level deals don’t kick in until then.
…but since when are we worried about cap space? We’re too busy trying to reach the floor.

well
if we sign Kovi, A-Train, Nystrom the Younger, and Ellis, sign Petrov, and give Bergy and Schremp raises….oh, hey, where’s that pig flying to?
Speaking of pigs flying...
I had to have some fun with an all-Russian post, inspired in part by your Lisin musings.

i swore i read something that these sometimes count to the cap, which is why we were well below this year, u count the bonuses or potentials or something… i meant it more that we still have a ways to go to get to the floor, and this pushes us closer — but again, no clue really how those #’s flesh out
who knew that when the court takes your license away, they ACTUALLY take you license away??? (now how am i supposed to provide proof of ID???)
must ... resist ... opening ... CBA ... file
Without checking myself (before I wreck myself), you might be thinking of how the entry-level bonuses count against the cap even if they don’t achieve all of them. Then there is some “bonus cushion” where you can go over the cap with those bonuses (only by a certain amount), but if you do then your cap capacity is limited by that amount the following season.
So if de Haan’s contract kicks in, then it would all count including potential bonuses; but if he stays in juniors all year, it doesn’t. I’m about 95% sure about all of that, so I really hope I’m not lying here.

Oh the Math on this one
He is born on May 9th, 1991 so that means that he is not going to be old enough to join the Soundtigers this year at all unless they make the third round of the playoffs. I guess they are preparing for just in case scenarios and CdH is a candidate for alternates?
Have the Sharks figured it out? Can they win despite of Joe Thornton?
I think he's a candidate at some point
My theory: Just for how long he stayed in camp last year, I bet if he hadn’t been hurt that he’d be a very good candidate to “do the Bailey” in 2010-11. With the injury, it’s less likely but I could see it happening if they were in a pinch or if they decided to rip him away from juniors mid-season (unlikely but not impossible). That’s my theory anyway; it certainly doesn’t hurt to sign him to a contract now.

More from de Haan
In his local paper. Rehab is going well but he’s still a few months away. I don’t think even the Islanders can rush him under these circumstances.

May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.

May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.

May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.

May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
