The Colorado Avalanche have acquired Ryan Lindgren, Jimmy Vesey and prospect Hank Kempf from the New York Rangers in exchange for Juuso Parssinen, Calvin de Haan, a 2nd round pick and a 4th round pick.
The Rangers are retaining 50% of Lindgren’s $4.5 million cap hit.
The 2nd round pick the Rangers will be receiving will be the better of their own 2nd and the Hurricanes’ 2nd.
This seems to be the signal that the Rangers will be going about a soft retool this season. Another pending UFA in Reilly Smith might be an upcoming move for them.
