Trade: Rangers & Avalanche Finalize Multi-Player Trade
The NHL's trade deadline is less than a week away and it looks like we're in for a busy weekend. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Colorado Avalanche and New York Rangers are closing in on a deal.Hearing Avalanche and Rangers working on something that will involve Ryan Lindgren and Jim Vesey. Believe Jusso Parssinen is part of return— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 1, 2025As Friedman points out, Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren and forward Jimmy Vesey will be included in the deal, which also includes Avalanche forward Juuso Parssinen. Parssinen is a 6-foot-3 24-year-old forward who has recorded six points in 22 games for the Avalanche this season. He's under contract for $775,000 this season, and is a pending restricted free agent.Vesey, 31, is under contract for $800,000 this year, and is a UFA at season's end. The winger has recorded six points in 33 games this season. Lindgren on the other hand, is a physical defenseman who is owed $4.5 million this season, the last year of his deal. The 27-year-old defenseman doesn't have any trade protection, and has tallied 19 points in 54 games this season for the Rangers, averaging just under 20 minutes of ice-time. The Rangers are retaining half of his remaining salary this season, which is likely why a second rounder was included from Colorado. **Update - Calvin de Haan is included in the deal, as well as a second and fourth-round pick heading to New York. Calvin de Haan is also going to Rangers.
