Three potential trade destinations for Artemi Panarin
Dan Rosen of NHL.com: (mailbag) New York Rangers forward Artemi Panarin is under a no-movement order and will decide where he ends up. In order, would bet he could end up with the Dallas Stars, Colorado Avalanche or Florida Panthers.
If the Rangers were to keep 50 percent of his cap hit, that would bring him back to $5.82 million. How many teams Panarin would consider would impact the acquisition cost: the more teams potentially considered, the higher the price.
The Stars don’t have their 2026 first-round pick and would have to move some salary, but it’s doable. The Rangers don’t need more offense, but they would add a new weapon. Ross Colton or Samuel Girard’s salaries may need to be moved. Panarin is friends with Panthers Sergei Bobrovsky. The Panthers don’t have their next two first-round picks, and there’s the cap situation surrounding Aleksander Barkov.
