"Panarin, 34, is expected to be traded off as part of New York's upcoming "retool," which was announced by GM Chris Drury last week. As part of that process, Drury reportedly informed Panarin that the team would not be seeking extension talks with him and instead would work with him to try to find a trade partner. The Russian winger holds a full no-movement clause in his contract, so he will have complete control over where he ends up ahead of the deadline."
"Panarin could significantly limit what the Rangers can net in any trade for him if he narrows his acceptable list of teams, which is likely why Drury came to the table early with him and his agent, Paul Theofanous. "I'm still confused, but the GM decided to go in a different direction," Panarin told Mercogliano last weekend. "I'm okay with that. I'm a Ranger player right now, so I'll play every game 100 percent.""
The Washington Capitals and Colorado Avalanche are front-runners in trade talks for Artemi Panarin. Capitals general manager Chris Patrick identified a higher-end, skilled winger as a top roster need. Panarin is expected to be moved as part of the New York Rangers' retool process initiated by GM Chris Drury. Drury informed Panarin that the team would not pursue an extension and would seek a trade partner. Panarin holds a full no-movement clause, giving him control over his destination and the ability to narrow acceptable teams. Panarin said he is confused but will play every game at 100 percent and has 56 points in 50 games this season.
