"With that no-move, he's [Panarin] got a lot of control over the situation,"
"the Rangers wanted to get back to contending as quickly as we can."
"We have identified and continue to identify players that we want here and want to stay here and go forward and build around and move forward with,"
The New York Rangers traded Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings for prospect Liam Greentree and conditional third- and fourth-round draft picks amid a retool. Panarin led the Rangers in scoring in each of his six full seasons and was in the final year of his contract with a no-movement clause, limiting trade options. Rangers president and GM Chris Drury said Panarin had significant control via the no-move and was only willing to go to Los Angeles. The team previously traded Carson Soucy to the Islanders and intends to retool, not rebuild, aiming to return to contention quickly while identifying core players to keep and build around.
