Dave Pagnotta of The Fourth Period was on Sirius XM NHL Network Radio with Steve Kouleas and Craig Button. He was asked in follow-up about whether the Recent York Rangers could approach Artemi Panarin and ask him to sign a brand new extension, and if he’s unwilling to sign, would the team consider trading him?

NHL Rumors: Recent York Rangers, Washington Capitals, and the Vegas Golden Knights
Craig Button: “So Dave, you discuss hovering, right? So like, I assume we’ve to define what’s hovering? Can the Recent York Rangers win? In my opinion, not a probability. So whether you’re hovering or whatnot, and you’ll be able to get a return on Artemi Panarin, in the event you’re not going to have him return, don’t you’ve to maneuver him. Jarmo Kekäläinen bumped into a really similar situation with (Sergei) Bobrovsky and Panarin. They were pushing.
It was somewhat bit different in Columbus for Jarmo, because they were trying to determine that they may very well be relevant and be an excellent team. So like making the playoffs, regardless that they won’t have been Stanley Cup contenders. Well, they weren’t Stanley Cup contenders was legitimate there, but are the Rangers in the identical spot? Like, if I don’t have I’m just, I’m gonna play Chris Drury. I’m gonna sit in Chris Drury’s seat at once. Aretemi you either signing with us, or if not, you’re moving, you’re out of here. I’m not hesitating, because they usually are not Stanley Cup contenders.”
Dave Pagnotta: Look, I agree with you, and I believe they’re in that boat. I mean, look, if this can be a team that has an idea, or at the least finds out that no, he’s going to go to market, he desires to test, or even when he’s not willing to commit now, but hey, I’ll have those talks once our season is completed, if there’s not some level of confidence that they’ll’t keep Artemi Panarin, then I believe you’re right I believe they’ve to completely must explore the market.

The Market Surrounding Artemi Panarin And More
Now, I believe Colorado, for instance, they’re considered, and I believe many put them at the highest by way of being cup contenders, if Necas, they’re still going forwards and backwards, they usually don’t have a full, clear idea, yes, I do know they took a special path with (Mikko) Rantanen last 12 months. Do they wish to undergo that again? Or do they wish to say, hey, let’s just put all our eggs on this basket. Let’s push for a Stanley Cup, and let’s figure this out after the very fact.
LA, in the event that they get things going they usually’re pushing an analogous boat, although I do know (Adrian) Kempe’s really hoping that by the top of the calendar 12 months, at the least, but before we get to 2026, that he has an extension in place. So we’ll see what happens there once talks resume later this month between Ken Holland and Kempe’s agent, JP Barry.
But different circumstances. I believe, with all the things that’s gone on in Recent York, Craig, I believe you’re completely bang on that. In the event that they don’t have that level of confidence that he’ll stick around, all right, what are we gonna do? We’re gonna chase and lose one among the highest forwards within the league for nothing. I believe they must take a serious have a look at generating assets from him.
