"As the Rangers continue to sit near the bottom of the standings, the inevitable Artemi Panarin trade rumors are going to start coming. Arthur Staple ( remember him?) is reporting that Panarin is "more willing" to waive his no-move clause and finish the season elsewhere. He still has control of his destiny with the no-move clause, but it seems he will accept a trade if it's the right match."
"Since Panarin is a pending free agent and a pure rental, a trade return is going to be somewhat muted. Emphasis on somewhat, as right now Panarin would be the premier trade target for any competing team. There is an obvious connection to Anaheim and Joel Quenneville, As for a return, expect a 2026 1st round pick and a B-level prospect."
The Rangers are positioned near the bottom of the standings, increasing trade speculation around Artemi Panarin. Panarin appears more willing to waive his no-move clause and finish the season elsewhere, though he retains control over any move. As a pending free agent and pure rental, Panarin will generate strong interest while delivering a somewhat muted trade return. Panarin remains a premier target for contenders, with an obvious connection to Anaheim and Joel Quenneville. Expected compensation centers on a 2026 first-round pick plus a B-level prospect, with full salary retention possibly adding a mid-round pick.
