Confirmed Trade: [COL/NYR] Ryan Lindgren (50% retained), Jimmy Vesey, Hank Kempf, for Juuso Parssinen, Calvin de Haan, 2025 2nd round pick, 2025 4th round pick

[PAZ]

What a garbage trade.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

There's a 2nd in there? Okay, I think Trotz is going to get to live.

Trotz is with Preds.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

A tough to watch game

Whole team has had a tough year does not change the fact that he is a tough player...

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Is lindgren mobile at all, or does he have good outlet passes?

No and no

 

[5cotland]

lindgren plays a tough game...

He used to but not for the last 2 years or so.

 

[Juxtaposer]

De Haan certainly is. Probably the worst player in the league this year IMO.


Parssinen maybe not. I also think he carries decent value so I wouldn't be surprised if the picks involved here aren't as strong as maybe expected but we'll see.

With respect, Lindgren is in that fight for "worst player in the league" too. Awful deal for Colorado IMHO.

This trade tells me Drury is going for the playoffs

Yes you read that right.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Geronimos.

Yes you read that right.

The Addition by subtraction from an NYR perspective is massive

Yes you read that right.

Jack Drury maybe

 

[jetsforever]

Wonder if Vesey will be disappointed to leave NY again

 

[le_sean]

Not sure why any team would want Lindgren. But then again, the Avs saw that Necas would be a fit and that’s worked out. Maybe they see there’s a system fit for Lindgren to get him back to being the decent player he was a couple years ago.

 

[SI90]

de Haan being on the rangers bothers me.

 

[ToDavid]

I think Lindgren has been horrible for the last 2 years for the Rangers, but I also think playing in an insulated 3rd pair role behind Toews and Girard for the Avs should dramatically help with his results. For what he is, a 2nd is pretty much the expected price for that.

The Avs won a cup with Jack Johnson on their 3rd pair and IMO Johnson was even worse than Lindgren.

Why would you expect a 2nd to be the price for “guys who’s been awful for two years and is on a bad contract but might be an okay sheltered third pair defenseman.” The price for that should be future considerations.

Yah they had Johnson, but they didn’t trade a 2nd for him, they signed him to a league minimum deal in free agency.

 

[SEALBound]

Lindgren @ 50% + crap for 2nd + crap

Seems about right to be honest.

Because guys who eat minutes and bring physicality are valuable pieces, even if their on-ice results suck. Hence why you see guys like Chiarot moved for 1st rounders.

 

[benfranklin]

So can anyone explain why from either side? Everyone is saying all these players are shit.

So is it a bunch of crap moving and then Rangers get free draft picks?

 

[lionsDen]

Is vesey a C if so how is he on the dot

Edit bad auto correction

 

[Martin Elz]

Wait, Lindgren is 26 yo? Looks 35 out there.
Almost everytime I watch the Rangers and go "Ouch! That's gotta hurt!" It's Lindgren getting hit or blocking a shot. To be fair, the guy gets up every time, plays his shift then misses a couple of games.

But I guess he will be better in a third pairing in Colorado than first pairing in New York.

 

[Shesty31]

Ryan Lindgren is the oldest 26 year old player in human history

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

If this guy can kick Makar off of playing the PK and 25 hard minutes a night it's OK.

Makar isn't even good on the PK anyways.

 

[JWK]

Trash for trash trade

Parssinen maybe not. I also think he carries decent value so I wouldn't be surprised if the picks involved here aren't as strong as maybe expected but we'll see.

DeHaan was just a fill in contract
Parsinnen should be 3rd line C. Still young
2nd and 4th are needed to replenish

 

[Viqsi]

Trotz is with Preds.

Yeah, I know. My point was that if Parssinen was more valuable to others than what we got back for him when we practically gave him away, that would be a potential second Fabbro-level blunder. But it's clear from that return that he's a throw-in.
