Former New Jersey Devils forward Jimmy Vesey has been traded to the Colorado Avalanche by the New York Rangers in exchange for Calvin de Haan, Juuso Parssinen, and draft picks. With the Rangers out of playoff contention and Vesey set to become an unrestricted free agent, the move provides the Avalanche with a veteran option for their bottom six as they gear up for the playoffs.
Vesey, 31, had a modest season with the Rangers, scoring four goals and six points in 33 games before the trade. He had a more productive season in 2023-24 with 13 goals and 26 points in 80 games. Prior to his time with the Rangers, Vesey spent a season with the Devils in 2021-22, recording eight goals, 15 points, and 85 hits in 68 games.
The trade adds depth to the Avalanche’s lineup as they make a push for the playoffs, while the Rangers receive de Haan, Parssinen, and draft picks in return. Vesey’s experience and versatility will be an asset to the Avalanche as they look to make a deep postseason run.
