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

[pld459666]

Not a knock on any of the players, but getting a 2nd rounder is big.

Lindgren is solid

Colarado wins this trade by a mile

Is it still 4 Nations break? I was promised trades during 4 Nations.

Avs loading up. Decent trade for them.

How did the Avs not make a trade for Jones? What a blunder!

Didnt have a spencer knight type asset. The guy is still very highly valued.

You have a Cal Ritchie...

I think the Rags did well by recognizing Parssinen was the odd man out and snagging him. Upset the Avs gave up on him so early.

Only thing I don't like about Lindgren is his injury history. Relatively a lot to give up for a poor performing player who is often injured. Definitely a big upgrade on De Haan and solidifies the D. This was obviously plan B once the Jones talks fell through

Thank you for proving his point

As mentioned by others, Ryan Lindgren reminds me so much of Dan Girardi so I was onboard with not giving him a long term contract because of what seems like an already decline in play due to his style of play. With that said, I truly believe he can be a great addition in a 3rd pairing/PK specialist role at the right cap hit. I also believe he would have greatly benefited from having the postseason off to overall heal up his body but I fully expect him to have a great playoff on a deep run and a team pay him in the offseason

Colorado wins simply based on getting Lindgren alone.

LOL thanks for letting us know you haven’t watched the Rangers all year.

LMAO no, Lindgren is not solid. I’ve watched every game he’s played this year. That’s not the word to use.

Looking forward to Lindgren getting a smaller role, going from a human penalty kill to just bad, and then people telling me I was wrong and he's good now.

So accurate. There are people in here who think he’s good lmao.

 

[Phrasing]

I like this for the Rangers

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

No. He eats pucks though.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

That Lindgren has this many NHL games under his belt and getting paid what he does is a testament to the human spirit. Homo Sapiens aura

 

[TGWL]

This thread is wild.

"Good luck getting anywhere with Lindgren."

"Good luck getting any real future with a 2nd"

2022 called it wants its post back.

 

[dirtydanglez]

no one has looked good with nyr this year. have to wait and see what lindgren looks like with proper depth around him

 

[ijuka]

I think NYR benefits. Pärssinen has some untapped potential. De Haan is ass but so is Lindgren. And they get the picks.

A bit shocking seeing NYR effectively as the seller, but their season has been a disappointment so I can understand it.

Not a knock on any of the players, but getting a 2nd rounder is big.

There isnt single player on Avs roster that they drafted in second round themselves. Last players they drafted in second round, that actually turned into decent NHLers, were picked in 2009 - ROR and Tyson Barrie.

So yeah, 2nd rounder is big, but if you are someone like Dallas, not Colorado.

 

[egelband]

Lindgren is fine as a bottom pair guy but on the rangers he seemed to be entitled to play with Fox. Won’t be the same entitlement with Colorado so I think he be good there.

 

[hirawl]

Feel like Avs have not actually seen Lindgren this season.

 

[Ignite111]

His proj WAR % is literally 0. He is statistically one of the worst dmen in the league. He would literally struggle at the AHL level

I know he sucks. Ranger fans would never say he’s bad until he’s off the team. Then he’s the worst player of all time.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Colorado wins loses simply based on getting Lindgren alone.

Fixed

Lindgren is a good soldier but about as solid as my stool the morning after Cinco de Mayo

 

[Gardner McKay]

Sad to see Lindgren go. He is absolutely beyond cooked. But the guy is a warrior and great team player.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Lol the f*** are they gonna do with Vesey? You ain’t winning with him.

 

[bigdog16]

Isn’t that the same chart that shows De Hann is a capable defenseman? Maybe take that with a grain of salt

Im not arguing that the chart is perfect, but the eye test does match up with the chart. You very, very clearly have not watched any Ranger games this year if you think otherwise

I know he sucks. Ranger fans would never say he’s bad until he’s off the team. Then he’s the worst player of all time.

I mean, go look at the Rangers GDTs from this year. I don’t know if there is one poster that was advocating for him. He has been ECHL quality this year and could not even hold his own playing alongside one of the top dmen in the league. Maybe Lindgren will look better next to Makar????
