Moving on from Lindgren and Vesey does not mean the Rangers are giving up on the season but did not want to lose them for nothing this summer.
They had been interested in Parssinen, 24, for some time. He could fill the depth role vacated by fellow FinnLindgren, 27, has struggled this season, but he gives Colorado some left-handed-shooting depth on the blue line in an attempt to make another long playoff run this spring.
