"The Toronto Maple Leafs are heading into the NHL trade deadline with no certain plan, but now they could truly go and get the biggest fish possible. A bombshell in the NHL dropped today, as the New York Rangers will not be extending their superstar forward Artemi Panarin past this season. General manager Chris Drury is willing to work with Panarin and his agent, Paul Theofanous, to find a destination that Panarin would be interested in moving to."
"Panarin and the Rangers downfall The Rangers fell off a cliff during the 2024-25 season and into this season, with nobody having any answers for this drop off. The Rangers' downfall could be attributed to Panarin's downseason, where he produced 89 points. While this is still a strong season, it was a noticeable drop from his previous season of 120 points. This season, Panarin has hovered around a point per game tallying 51 points in his first 47 games."
Artemi Panarin will not be extended by the New York Rangers beyond this season, and general manager Chris Drury is open to finding a trade destination. The Rangers have fallen from playoff contention, dropping to last in the Eastern Conference and trailing the final Wild Card spot by 10 points. Panarin's production has decreased from 120 points to 89 and is currently at roughly a point per game with 51 points in 47 games. The Toronto Maple Leafs lack a clear trade-deadline plan after losing Mitch Marner and could pursue Panarin to add top-six scoring and improve postseason prospects.
