The Rangers traded defenseman Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey — both unrestricted free agents after the season — to the Avalanche, along with prospect Hank Kempf, in exchange for Juuso Parssinen, Calvin de Haan, a second-round pick in 2025 and a fourth-round pick in 2025, The Post’s Mollie Walker confirmed.

The Rangers are also retaining 50 percent of Lindgren’s salary.
Despite sitting just four points out of the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference entering Saturday’s games, the Rangers have struggled for most of the season.
With these deals, they’re able to continue to keep most of their core intact while ensuring they get something in return in case Lindgren and Vesey sign elsewhere in the offseason.
Their blueline depth, though, has taken a major hit, with Adam Fox on injured reserve and now Lindgren — his longtime partner — heading to Colorado.
