In every year since he arrived, Panarin has led the Rangers in scoring and has been one of the most dynamic players in the NHL. No one is denying the offensive capabilities of Panarin, he shows it every single year.

I would love that, he said. From everything that I know, again he's a player that is extremely happy and proud to be [here] and to have the role that he has in the football club. He's been developing in a natural way like they always do. Everyone knows how important Bukayo is for us so hopefully we can do it.
When the team sheets were distributed at Villa Park on Sunday evening, 25 hours and change before the transfer deadline, there were two noteworthy selections. The first was Aston Villa goalkeeper Marco Bizot.
