"There's a big difference between the best possible value and taking "what fits the retool," which is the biggest concern about Drury running this retool. It appears he wants to thread an impossible needle, which likely means taking what he thinks turns the team around in a year or two instead of extracting as much value as possible for Panarin and others."
"The best possible returns do come from San Jose and maybe Washington, though San Jose has far more pure skill than the Caps. If we assume Panarin signs an extension and the Rangers retain 50% on this year, then his trade value skyrockets. This is where both teams become the best trade partners for Artemi Panarin, as they have the most young skill to offer."
Chris Drury is collecting offers for Artemi Panarin while balancing extracting maximum value and fitting a retool, raising concerns about prioritizing quick turnarounds over returns. Five teams — Carolina, Los Angeles, Washington, Tampa Bay, and Florida — are primary suitors, with Dallas as a quiet interest. San Jose and Washington provide the best returns due to young skilled assets, while Carolina and Los Angeles offer cap flexibility. Carolina and Tampa Bay are preferred destinations with an extension, and retaining 50% of Panarin's salary would significantly increase his trade value.
