The Blueshirts agreed to a trade Saturday to send defenseman Ryan Lindgren, forward Jimmy Vesey and the rights to unsigned 2021 draft pick Hank Kempf to the Avalanche in exchange for center Juuso Parssinen and veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan.

The Colorado Avalanche acquired forwards Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey and the rights to defensive prospect Hank Kempf from the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Rangers picked up forward Juuso Parssinen,

Lindgren, 26, was one of the first players acquired when the Rangers started their rebuild in February 2018 — he came over as an unsigned prospect from Boston in the trade that sent Rick Nash to the Bruins — had been a warrior for the Rangers in his seven seasons in the organization.

A report has surfaced that shows the Rangers were very close to acquiring Scott Laughton from the Flyers last season in a trade that ultimately failed.

Reilly Smith was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights by the New York Rangers on Thursday for forward prospect Brendan Brisson and the San Jose Sharks' third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Where Lindgren fits on the depth chart, and how he performs in what will likely be a different role than in New York, could be a case study for future player evaluation. Lindgren has spent most of his 5-on-5 ice time next to Adam Fox on New York’s top pairing, over the past several seasons.

The New York Rangers have traded Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey to the Colorado Avalanche. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Rangers are receiving center Juuso Parssinen, defenseman Calvin de Haan, a 2025 second-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick.

The Colorado Avalanche have made another splash ahead of the NHL trade deadline by acquiring defenseman Ryan Lindgren and winger Jimmy Vesey from the New York Rangers.
