Artemi Panarin’s Unbelievable Trade Destinations: Which Team Will Win the Ultimate Hockey Gamble?
ANAHEIM — Artemi Panarin’s time with the New York Rangers is coming to a close. Signed in summer 2019 to a seven-year contract carrying an $11.64 million average annual value, the winger has led the Rangers in scoring each year of his contract. He likely would again this year, but president and general manager Chris Drury told him Friday that the team will not offer him a contract extension. Instead, it will try to find a fit for him on the trade market.

The 34-year-old winger has total control of his situation with a full no-movement clause. The team will have to work with him to pick a destination. If Panarin will only waive for one or two places, it could significantly lower his trade value. If he’s open to more, the Rangers will likely do better on a return.
