Panarin to Kings

[hokiecat]

I've been negative all season long. But a top scoring winger for a prospect and middle round picks was good. Extending him at an ok cost with reasonable term is also good.

I am happy that Holland is stacking W's today.

Pettersson trade at the draft makes a lot of sense.

Kings top line of Panarin/Pettersson/Kempe would be something.

What about getting Petey now? Why else would we need the rangers to retain salary?

Gotta trade some prospects before they all go Kaliyev/JAD/Bjornfot/you get the idea. Greentree sounds like a better prospect than them and I would have much preferred him moved in a larger trade for Petterson.

Taken in isolation however this is a good, exciting trade.

Hiller must go. If Holland can fix the blue line then next season gets a lot more interesting.

Yep. This move not in isolation: lots more to do, but feels good to feel again.

Yeah, this is a pretty good deal for Holland. Sounds like Panarin wanted LA. Some teams offered more AAV and term, but he did not want to go there. Other teams offered more for trade, but wanted a rental. Sounds like the Kings were really the only option for Panarin and the return to the Rangers reflected that.

Glad it was Holland at the wheel for this. For some reason I think Blake would have grossly overpaid.

Petey, Kempe, Panarin. I would not be opposed. Still need to get the puck out of the D zone though.

I’m fully in on that move at any time.

I hope this works out.

It was a good deal, and the term on the extension is fine. I still have concerns that he is to much of softy and liability.

Artemi Panarin’s Rangers legacy after trade defined by electric playmaking, hollow ending

Panarin's hockey wizardry made him a largely beloved Ranger, but his story is more complicated than that.

www.nytimes.com

( I don't have a sub and they let me view it all.)

Excerpt

"Panarin’s freewheeling, perimeter style made him less effective in tight-checking postseason settings, where his point-per-game average dipped to 0.76 (35 points in 46 appearances) during his time with the Rangers."

When Panarin wanted a 5 year extension I was very opposed. This deal is so reasonable in term and salary. I am so happy that it went down like this. Can’t wait to see Panarin and Kempe on the same line. Now if only they had a center…

Also relieved it didn’t include Woolley or Brz…

Need to clear over $3M in cap space in order to get Pettey before the deadline. Holland - make it happen.

That's crazy, guess he didn't ask Gavrikov about Hiller lol

Or maybe he did ask Gavy and he might be ok with Hiller. If Gavy disliked Hiller I’m sure that would have been discussed with Panarin, who ultimately only wanted to come here.

 

[DoubleMinor]

Maybe Gav wants to come back too j/k

Not sure that isn’t the case.

Not necessarily, per puck pedia we should have 11 million available at the deadline. Remember it's based on daily ave.

Great move, good signing, love it.

GO KINGS GO​

I’ve got no problem with Panarin. He’s great at what he does. My issue is the team built around him and the head coach.

Exactly. There is a decent chance that his skills will not let him thrive in the Hiller system. I hope we're wrong, but right now, I'm from Missouri.

From my understanding no other teams seem to want Pettersson. Not sure why the Kings would either.
