"Artemi Panarin is headed west. The star Russian winger was traded by the New York Rangers to the Los Angeles Kings ahead of the NHL's 3 pm Olympic roster freeze on Wednesday. The Rangers will receive prospect winger Liam Greentree and a conditional third-round pick in return. ESPN's Adam Schefter and Emily Kaplan were the first to break the news on the full trade."
"In 52 games for the Rangers this season, Panarin has recorded 57 points (19g, 38a). The 34-year-old forward holds a $11.6 million cap hit and is set to be an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Panarin has long been rumored to be on his way out of New York after the Rangers' front office informed the winger that they had no intention of extending his contract. The Rangers then held Panarin out of their lineup for three games due to "roster management" reasons."
