Rangers extend Juuso Parssinen for two years after trade deadline acquisition

Now that the Rangers have their coach, the roster work can begin.

The Blueshirts agreed to terms on a two-year extension with pending restricted free agent forward Juuso Pärssinen on Friday.

The deal is expected to carry an average annual value of $1.25 million, per The Post’s Larry Brooks. 

Pärssinen came to New York, along with defenseman Calvin de Haan and two conditional 2025 draft picks, in a March 1 trade with the Avalanche that sent Ryan Lindgren, Jimmy Vesey and prospect Hank Kempf to Colorado.

The 24-year-old appeared in 11 games with the Blueshirts this season, recording two goals and three assists.
