Juuso Parssinen never quite seemed to fit with the New York Rangers, especially under the new coaching staff led by Mike Sullivan. So, it’s not a big surprise that the Rangers placed the 24-year-old forward on waivers Tuesday.
If he’s not claimed by another team, Parssinen will be assigned to Hartford of the American Hockey League, continuing his up-and-down career in North America. He split his first two seasons between the Nashville Predators and AHL Milwaukee, before spending all of last season in the NHL. However, Parssinen bounced from team to team to team, playing 48 games with the Predators, Colorado Avalanche, and Rangers in 2024-25.
