Overview

• The New York Rangers traded defenseman Ryan Lindgren, forward Jimmy Vesey, and unsigned prospect Hank Kempf to the Colorado Avalanche.
• In return, the Rangers received forward Juuso Parssinen, veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan, and two conditional draft picks in the 2025 NHL Draft.
• The Rangers will retain 50% of Lindgren's $4.5 million cap hit as his contract is set to expire this summer.
• New York views Parssinen, 24, as a key addition to bolster their depth, especially with Adam Fox currently on injured reserve.
• The Avalanche continue to adjust their roster for a playoff run following the earlier trade of Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes.
