With the Rangers “retooling” and not extending the sniping HR problem… what the Rangers sent Panarin to live with Wilson!?!? As a Rangers fan I would be all for it and would be hilarious to see!

  1. He also said they are looking at guys who are scheduled to be FA but have had luck before re-signing them after.

    Does sound like Panaran.

  2. Would rather not have a sexual predator on my team, but that’s just me. There’s other guys out there.

  3. I’ve always loved Panarin, I just don’t see Rangers being trade friendly with him. Same reason why we couldn’t get Hughes when he was being traded.

    To get a guy like that you will need to give up very high prospect or a young NHLer that is already good. Hutson, Cristall, Leonard, and baby pro are gonna be names teams are gonna want. Which imo and seems the caps org is not worth it.

    Which probably leaves McMichael up for discussion that would have any merit which him and some trades probably isn’t enough for a guy like Panarin.

    But who knows. I know something needs to happen for us to

  4. Panarin is fantastic, but I don’t think there’s enough there even the team is fully healthy to go all the way. I don’t want to trade away picks and/or prospects to bring in a rental when the team doesn’t have a great shot at the Cup. If it were up to me, I’d actually be leaning toward selling this season. I think the future is very bright, and I’m kinda afraid they’re going to squander it being short-sighted.

  5. Really don’t want this move for the Caps. I don’t think they are a Panarin away from a deep run and it would cost a lot of good prospects to land this older rental.

    Think a move like this would set the org back in the post-Ovi years

  6. Hear me out y’all, Petterson. Canucks are in full sell mode, he’s young, plays wing *and* center so we’d have much more reliable safety net if Strome or PLD gets hurt. Plus he’s locked up long term so he’s not a rental.

    Obviously the contract is pricy, but with Ovi and Carlson contracts to be either gone or much lower next year we can fit him. Other teams won’t have that kind of cap flexibility, so that’ll help narrow the market and maybe even bring the price down.

    I realize the odds of this are just slightly above zero, but I think he’s the best possible (realistic) get for us right now.

  7. Based on what GMCP said in his press conference yesterday I doubt Panarin is at the top of his list. He said if he’s going to make a move it’s going to be for someone who is going to be with the team for several year.

    I’m really hoping we make a move for Kyrou. Despite a down year this year, he’s a consistent 70 point guy with speed. He’s 27 and under contract at a manageable number for another 4 years after this one.
