Avalanche Trade With Rangers For Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey. What Are the Expectations?
The Avalanche acquired defenseman Ryan Lindgren and winger Jimmy Vesey from the New York Rangers for a second- and a fourth-round pick, young forward Juuso Parssinen and veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan.
The Rangers are four points out of a playoff spot and did not want to let pending unrestricted free agents walk for nothing.
The Avalanche has a clear need on the blue line. Colorado has added several options to be the No. 6 defenseman since the end of last season, including de Haan as a free agent, but none of them have found a regular, successful spot next to Sam Malinski on the third pairing.
