"The belief is around the league that Panarin is looking for a longer-term deal, potentially even one that takes him to 40 [years old]. I don't know how much teams have a stomach for that; someone will, because it only takes one. But even as a rental, he's viewed as a very attractive option where maybe outside of New York, he doesn't have to be the guy for the first time and could be that really nice supporting piece."
"Coming into the season, AFP Analytics projected Panarin's extension to come in at around four years and $41 million ($10.25M AAV), with the closest comparable being Alex Ovechkin's five-year, $47.5 million extension ($9.5M AAV) with the Washington Capitals in 2021. After Seravalli's reporting, that deal may actually slide into the five or six-year range, and given Panarin's consistent production and the rising salary cap environment, may even be more expensive."
The New York Rangers will not offer a contract extension to Artemi Panarin. Panarin holds a full no-movement clause and is expected to work with the Rangers to find a trade destination before the March 6 trade deadline. He becomes an unrestricted free agent in July, making extension negotiations important for interested teams. League reporting indicates Panarin is seeking a longer-term deal, potentially through age 40, which could deter some teams. AFP Analytics projected a four-year, $41 million extension (~$10.25M AAV), but the market may shift to five- or six-year deals and higher annual value. Panarin has 56 points (19g, 37a) in 50 games and has recorded 80+ points in seven of his last eight seasons.
