Artemi Panarin’s Unbelievable Trade Destinations: Which Team Will Win the Ultimate Hockey Gamble?
The primary holdup is that Dallas could prefer to seek a defenseman. The Stars didn’t land Rasmus Andersson, though, so perhaps GM Jim Nill will pivot. The lack of cap space or a 2026 first-round pick means they probably won’t have room for two big moves. If Nill decides he still wants to focus on a right-handed defenseman, perhaps he will ask about New York’s Braden Schneider.

Carolina Hurricanes
Expect the Hurricanes to be in on Panarin — they’ve shown a recent willingness to go after stars, including when they briefly landed Rantanen — but their potential interest will matter only as much as Panarin is open to going there. Don’t forget the no-movement clause. If he is open to it, the team has intriguing pieces: all its first-round picks (plus an extra in 2028), ample cap space and plenty of boldness to go after a big name.
