Shortly after naming Mike Sullivan the head coach, the Rangers have shifted focus to their offense, signing pending restricted free agent Juuso Pärssinen to a two-year extension. The deal has an average annual value of $1.25 million, according to a league source.
Pärssinen had two goals and five points in 11 games with the Rangers this past season. The 24-year-old got traded twice within the season, going from Nashville to Colorado, then from Colorado to New York. In total, he played 48 games, scoring six goals and 16 points. The Rangers acquired him in a package for Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey. Pärssinen is now starting his summer playing with Finland at the World Championship.

The Rangers need young center depth, and Pärssinen offers that. Earlier in the year, his former Predators’ teammates praised his potential, even if he hasn’t fully tapped into it at the NHL level.
“He has a ton of upside,” said former Nashville defenseman Luke Schenn, now with Winnipeg. “Big body, he can skate, can control the puck down low. Those guys are hard to find: the blend of size and skill.”
With $1.25 million going to Pärssinen, the Rangers now have $8.42 million in projected cap space for 2025-26, according to PuckPedia. New York’s remaining restricted free agents include Will Cuylle and K’Andre Miller, who could combine for that much money by themselves. Adam Edström, Matt Rempe, Arthur Kaliyev, Zac Jones and Matthew Robertson are also restricted free agents.
New York will have a bit more cap space if a combination of Brett Berard, Gabe Perreault and Brennan Othmann start with AHL Hartford. The team can also bury most of Pärssinen’s cap hit in the minors, though he would require waivers for the Rangers to send him down. That still would not be enough for the team to be major players in free agency, so Chris Drury could look to free up more room by moving roster players with larger cap hits.
Pärssinen will be a restricted free agent with arbitration rights at the end of his deal.

Mrazivá chvíle v bundeslize. Brankář Heidenheimu zůstal po srážce bezvládně ležet
Spoluhráči i soupeři začali Müllerovi hned pomáhat, než přiběhli zdravotníci. Nehrálo se zhruba jedenáct minut. Na tribunách byly vidět ve tvářích fanoušků obavy a na stadionu se rozhostilo ticho.Příznivci domácího týmu i Bochumi během ošetření, které probíhalo za roztaženou plachtou, vyvolávali Müllerovo jméno, brankář Heidenheimu pak opouštěl hřiště na nosítkách za jejich aplausu.„Tohle jsou momenty, které nechcete na hřišti vidět. Tohle všechno zastíní. Pak je jedno, jestli hrajete první, nebo druhou bundesligu. Zdraví je pro každého z nás to nejdůležitější, vše ostatní je vedlejší. A to bylo vidět. Třeba Maxi Wittek (hráč Bochumi) okamžitě přiběhl a pomohl, v tu chvíli nebyl soupeř,“ uvedl kapitán Heidenheimu Patrick Mainka.O Kevin Müller, guarda-redes do Heidenheim, bateu com o seu rosto no queixo adversário e caiu desacordo. O jogo foi paralisado para que ele pudesse ser retirado de campo. Ainda não se sabe mais informações sobre ele. Força Kevin. 🤍 pic.twitter.com/wpPaOhwriw— […]
Wolves ‘celebrated’ after their loss to Man City. This is why it wasn’t weird
It isn’t often that Premier League teams stage collective “celebrations” following defeats. But Wolverhampton Wanderers did just that at the Etihad Stadium, and it didn’t feel all that weird.As Manchester City claimed a 1-0 victory to halt Wolves’ winning run at six games, Rayan Ait-Nouri applauded travelling supporters in the corner of the stadium and headed towards the tunnel in conversation with former Molineux team-mate Matheus Nunes.AdvertisementThe Algerian’s progress was halted by the shouts of Vitor Pereira’s coaching staff, calling him back to join his current colleagues in a show of solidarity. Led by Pereira, Wolves’ players and staff joined hands, formed a line, walked towards their supporters and raised their hands in the air three times to initiate three loud cheers from the stands.Pereira then broke into a solo triple fist-pump of his own with the same result.It was […]
Warriors in danger of blowing another 3-1 lead as Rockets’ advantages continue to add up
Imagn Images Throughout NBA history, there haven been 290 instances of a team going down 3-1 in a playoff series, and only 13 times has that team come back to win. The Houston Rockets put themselves in position to become the 14th with a blowout Game 6 win over the Warriors on Friday, setting up the two best words in all of sports on Sunday night in Houston. Game seven. On the flip side, the Warriors know all too well about blowing a 3-1 lead, as they are one of the 13 teams to do so. Nobody needs any reminders about the 2016 Finals. Certainly not in Golden State. But this storyline will be front and center over these next two days as the Warriors are most definitely on the brink of having it happen again.Their three wins notwithstanding, the Warriors have […]
Basketbalisté Houstonu si vybojovali sedmý zápas proti Golden State
Houstonu se v historii povedlo dvakrát otočit sérii, ve které prohrával 1:3 na zápasy. V roce 1995 s Phoenixem, kdy následně získal titul, a v roce 2015 s Los Angeles Clippers. Po jasné domácí výhře Rockets uspěli i v pátek v San Franciscu, kde vyrovnaný zápas rozhodli v poslední čtvrtině.Do ní týmy vstupovaly v těsném kontaktu dvou bodů, jenže obrana Warriors hned po šesti sekundách zapomněla na Freda VanVleeta, který trojkou s faulem odstartoval rozhodující nápor Rockets. Následně Warriors šest minut nedali koš ze hry a Houston šňůrou 12:0 získal šestnáctibodové vedení, které už Golden State nemělo šanci zvrátit.Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun powered Houston to a Game 6 win on the road!VanVleet: 29 PTS, 6 3PM, 8 AST, 8 REBSengun: 21 PTS, 14 REB, 6 AST, 3 STLHouston will now host Golden State for Game 7 at 8:30pm/et Sunday on TNT 🍿 pic.twitter.com/lQNxV0Ggcg— NBA (@NBA) May 3, 2025 Za domácí dali Steph Curry 29 bodů a Jimmy […]
