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

[Mac Attack]

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

Yeah I wouldn't get to excited about Parsinnen. He does things once in a while to get you excited. And then nothing at all. The picks are a great get for the Rangers though.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Awful for Colorado

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I don't think it is. I think it's crap for crap, relatively speaking. Parssinen should have been a fit, I thought, but Bednar really doesn't like him. Hopefully the Avs haven't added much in the way of picks...

Bednar is an idiot. he won't play anyone under 30 years old.

Not the time for a Mein Kampf joke I guess

 

[TheMistyStranger]

I don't have a dog in this fight but this looks like a trade where both teams lose.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I just can't get to a place where giving picks away is going to be good for Nashville.

This is the correct take.

 

[State of Hockey]

Yeah those Blackwood and Necas trades have been disasters

Blackwood is the only one that made the team better so far, and that was the easier low bar to clear. I think the Necas trade is a good move, but it doesn't make them better this year. The key point is Colorado better after all the wheeling and dealing and not having many assets left? Maybe marginally. It's a lot of noise for little movement.

Too soon

Kinda funny that Vesey became the oldest forward on the Avalanche.

Veteran experience!

Bednar is an idiot. he won't play anyone under 30 years old.

????? who isn't he playing that deserves playing time? and the top guys that get all the playing time are all under 30 with the exception of 31 year old Toews.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Bednar is an idiot. he won't play anyone under 30 years old.

Bednar prefers his grizzled 30+ vets like MacGinnon and Makar over younger studs like Parsnipinnen and Kylington.

No wonder the Aves can barely cling to the wildcard spot.

Drury draining the swamp!

This is the correct take.

This is addition by subtraction for the Rangers.

 

[MeinerEiner]

Rangers are sellers? lol

Great news for the Pens

I think folks are not reading this deal correctly. It’s actually a very good deal for Colorado.

Lindgren - he was asked to play 1st pair minutes with Fox but that is not the right position for him. He can’t handle 20+ minutes and that’s why he was always injured. He plays physical but is not that big so he was getting destroyed playing 20+ minutes.

In Colorado he can play 15 minutes on the 3rd pair and do very well I think.

Vesey and Parsinnen are about equal

De Haan sucks

This is an interesting change-of-scenery trade for Colorado. Lindgren used to be a really solid defensive D, but injuries and general overuse have taken a toll on him even though he only just turned 27. I'll be curious to see if his game improves back to a certain level when given bottom-pair minutes rather than being tied to Fox's hip. Vesey could also be a better fit for a 4th liner's game than Parssinen is.

I was targeting David Savard for similar reasons. I have more showing from him than Lingren. I have to trust our management but bottom pair, and PK should be his mandate.

How Lingren speed. I think we prefer him maybe more about this aspect. Savard is maybe too slow for us.

This is addition by subtraction for the Rangers.

Acquiring CdH and Parsinnen is subtraction by addition.

But the Rags got cap space and two draft picks so they're the big winner.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Lindgren is an undersized d man who tried to play the game of a 6’4” 220lb bruiser. It earned him a career but is the reason why he’s pretty much washed at a young age

 

[AirGut]

I don't have a dog in this fight but this looks like a trade where both teams lose.

Shedding Lindgren and getting a 24 year old Pärssinen along with mid round picks can't be a bad thing. It helps the Rangers more than it does Colorado at the moment.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Great news for the Pens

Crosby to the Avs incoming

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Rangers are sellers? lol

Maybe? But Lindgren is addition by subtraction. Not exactly selling Panarin here.

 

[Nazzz]

Connor Murphy is still available as a righty depth D. Holy mother

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Any info on lindgren? I know nothing about him outside of name recognition as I don’t watch rags.

He stinks, have fun with him lol

Yeah. Unfortunately for Lindgren, i think this trade value very much reflects that as well. Sadly for him, this value looks like he's never really going to get that "cash in" contract either. Spent most of his career playing hard and taking a beating on fairly cheap deals and is now more or less kaput. Depth defenceman sort of money probably the most that'll be on the table for him this summer.
