Gonna go with no on that one. Spend the money locking up the guys we want to keep.
I lived in Chicago when Panarin was there, he became my favorite player when he came to Columbus, and I wanted nothing but success for him in NY. All that to say, absolutely not.
That’s sort of like asking if you’d buy a car without saying what the price is. At his current $11.6M cap hit, probably not. But if his asking price is lower he’s still a solid offensive talent, why not. But it would also depend on the term, he’s 34 years old so I wouldn’t sign him for very many years.
Might as well throw in Laine too …
No he didn’t want to be here and he’s regressed
Not at that price and there are a couple of others Tuch, Rasmus, I’d try to get before him.
Alex Tuch, though, maybe? Or Andersson?
I wouldn’t mind adding another Russian or two.
If you are going to bring in a veteran player at a relatively high price then they better be a team guy and good for the locker room. I don’t get that vibe from Panarin (or Bob or Laine for that matter), so why tie up money that could be used for signing our own guys?
Sadly I don’t think Panarin has the juice anymore.

Dudes 33 not playing great as it is and hasn’t exactly gotten a lot of [good press](https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/44717019/rangers-artemi-panarin-settled-sexual-assault-claim-per-report) so Pass, and I say that as someone who was a big fan the first time around.
