Is Artemi Panarin the Bruins’ Next Big Move After the Rasmus Andersson Deal?
Panarin’s contract details shape every part of the discussion. He is 34, in the final year of the seven-year, $81.5 million deal he signed with New York in 2019, carries an $11.64 million cap hit, and holds a full no-move clause. That combination gives him substantial control over where he can be traded and immediately removes a large portion of the league from contention based on cap space alone. For the Rangers, it creates a leverage problem: they cannot simply auction him to the highest bidder, and potential partners know it.
