A former Colorado Avalanche forward prospect hit the waiver wire on Tuesday. The New York Rangers placed Juuso Parssinen on the wire, following his gradual falling away from the team’s lineup.
As you may remember, Parssinen was part of a seemingly minor trade last season with the Nashville Predators. The Avalanche sent Ondrej Pavel to the Predators for Parssinen.
At the time, the move was primarily a depth trade to bolster the forward group amid massive injuries.
However, things changed at the trade deadline. The Avalanche moved Parssinen to the New York Rangers in the Ryan Lindgren trade.
