The New York Rangers have made a significant trade, sending defenseman Ryan Lindgren and forward Jimmy Vesey to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for young forward Juuso Parssinen, veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan, and two draft picks in the 2025 NHL Draft. The Rangers are retaining half of Lindgren's $4.5 million cap hit, a strategic move as they aim to bolster their playoff chances. Parssinen, previously a target for the Rangers, is seen as a promising addition, while de Haan's experience will help fill the gap left by Adam Fox's injury. Despite the emotional toll of parting with Lindgren, the Rangers felt they needed to recoup assets as they anticipate not re-signing him this summer.
