Juuso Parssinen: our analysis
2024-25 season: 11 GP, 2 G, 3 A, 5 PTS, +1 +/-, 9:46 TOI. WAR -0.3 (535th of 596) · PAL 1, very poor.
In 2024-25, Juuso Parssinen, 25, posts a PAL Rating of 1 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.3 ranks 535th among 596 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
On the other hand, possession (1, among the weakest in the league) and discipline (3, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+0.5); his biggest cost: EV offense (-1.5).
A marked decline: his PAL was 15 in 2023-24, against 1 now; his WAR went from -0.1 to -0.3.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 4 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Juuso Parssinen's story
Juuso Pärssinen announced himself in North America with a goal in his very first NHL game on 12 November 2022, a tally that helped Nashville beat the New York Rangers. That instant arrival followed several seasons in Finland where his playmaking and steady offensive touch drew notice long before he left Europe.
Born in 2001, Pärssinen came through the junior ranks of TPS. He broke into the Liiga at 17 and by the 2020–21 campaign had been named an alternate captain. That season he led his team with 34 assists and posted 42 points in 55 regular-season games, topping the league among under-21 players — achievements that complemented his selection in the 7th round, 210th overall, of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft by Nashville.
After signing a three-year entry-level contract with the Predators on 1 June 2021, he was loaned back to TPS for further development. He joined Milwaukee for the Calder Cup playoffs in May 2022 and began the following season with the Admirals, producing at nearly a point-per-game before his first NHL recall. Early in his NHL stint he not only scored in his debut but recorded a three-point night in his third game. His club career then featured notable moves: traded to the Colorado Avalanche on 28 December 2024, and later shipped to the New York Rangers on 1 March 2025.
Pärssinen opened the 2025–26 season with the Rangers but was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, after appearing in 14 of the team’s first 24 games. He was injured in his first game with Hartford and, once recovered, split time between Hartford and New York. Through these transitions his game remains defined by playmaking and offensive consistency.
Hockey runs in the family: he is the son of Timo Pärssinen, who played professionally from 1994 to 2015 and had a brief stint in the NHL with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 2000–01. Juuso is the oldest of four brothers; one sibling, Jiri, is under contract with HPK in the Liiga.
