The New York Rangers have initiated their trade deadline strategy by sending Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey to the Colorado Avalanche, receiving Juuso Parssinen, Calvin de Haan, and draft picks in return. Lindgren's decline in performance and injury struggles led to his trade, with the Rangers retaining half of his salary. Parssinen, a young center with limited offensive production, adds depth, while de Haan's inclusion helps with roster balance. The draft picks, especially the second-rounder, are viewed as the key assets in the deal, highlighting the Rangers’ focus on future prospects.
