grandmaster Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1791797 Although Artemi Panarin is front and center on their radar, the New York Rangers will not engage in a bidding war for his services, sources told Larry Brooks of the New York Post. While nothing is set in stone, the Rangers are unlikely to exceed an offer in the seven-year, $11.25-million range if another team goes higher, the sources indicated to Brooks. Panarin met with New York's management on Thursday, but the dynamic Russian winger is also reportedly being courted with lucrative offers from the Florida Panthers, New York Islanders, and Colorado Avalanche, among others. He's arguably the top free-agent skater on the market this summer after recording 87 points for the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2018-19. The Rangers are in the midst of a rebuild but have quickly gathered a deep group of assets that could accelerate the process of becoming competitive again. Among their best pieces are 2019 No. 2 overall pick Kaapo Kakko, while the team also has a projected $17.5 million in available cap space this summer. After seven consecutive trips to the playoffs, New York missed out for the second season in a row in 2018-19, finishing 20 points outside the cutline with a record of 32-36-14.

Ryan Strome Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Ya I guess he is a very good player but that's right near franchise player money and I never give him franchise player respect. I would love to see him in Vancouver but not at that price. We need that money to re-sign EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian42 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Lol won’t engage in bidding war but will pay him 11.25 million isn’t that like 4th highest in the entire NHL? Edited June 28, 2019 by brian42 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Monty Posted June 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2019 Off the top of my head, only two other wingers in the league make their teammates better, like Panarin, and that’s Kane and Marner. The guy deserves to get paid because he does it all, both offensively and defensively. And, on the same note with the Rangers, their defensive core just improved greatly with Trouba and Fox. And, with Kakko and Kravtsov playing next season as well, their team will be a lot better next season. To the point where they’ll be buyers at the deadline. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I'm just going to add that I'd rather have Panarin at $11 mil/year then LE at $6. This is too much money because how can you justify giving EP anything less then $10, when he comes up for a contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya pretty dumb move if they do it, they were looking like they would be a tough adversary in the future. That is way too much for a winger not named Ovechkin, Kane or Kucherov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
