With Ryan Lindgren a pending unrestricted free agent on the finish of the season, it made sense that the Rangers would transfer him.

Along with Lindgren, the Avalanche get Vesey, who will likely be depth piece on offense. The query is for Colorado, will they deal with the 2C place as effectively by the deadline?
