New York Rangers May Consider to Part Ways with Pricey Forward
A rumour has emerged concerning Artemi Panarin and it took many people by surprise.
Rangers Could Look to Trade Panarin
There are whispers that the Rangers might think about trading Panarin and his whopping $11.6M annual salary.
The Rangers are in a good position to have a long playoff run, but last year, they didn't make it at all.
If the season doesn't go well, anticipate potential changes to their roster.
Parting with Panarin could provide GM Chris Drury with the necessities to bring in new talent. Notably, the Rangers are currently exceeding the salary cap by $50k.
While a simpler trade seems more probable, the Panarin scenario remains intriguing.
Declining Panarin?
Over recent years, Panarin has been instrumental in the Rangers' achievements.
Among the elite, only Panarin, Connor McDavid, and Leon Draisaitl have notched 90 or more points in at least three of the past four seasons.
"Only THREE players have achieved 90+ points in at least three of the last four seasons:
Connor McDavid
Leon Draisaitl
Artemi Panarin
Underrated?"

Since his arrival in 2019, Panarin has stood out as the Rangers' top scorer. With 341 points in 268 games, he's dominated the team's offensive stats in almost every category
Yet, at 31, we could see a decline in his production and speed in the coming seasons. For now, it hasn't been a problem, but it will change the second he starts to struggle on the ice. Then, it'll be too late to trade him.
Do you think Panarin will stay with the Rangers?
