In that case hard pas on a player like that. Two, I gotta think this is gonna be another Hossa like contract if any team signs hi for that. Great if you win a few cups. But it's not likely that the team that signs him will. With Panarin I just get the sense that he wants to play in a "cool" city like New York or Florida. Think of his view of different North American cities. New York and Florida are pretty glamorous cities, come with a reputation and he wants to live in one of those two. Can't really blame him.

Florida isn't glamorous, at all. The arena like half an hour from Fort Lauderdale, which is kind of like the Okanagan of Florida. Lots of old people. The only real draw there is the low income tax.

This is too much money because how can you justify giving EP anything less then $10, when he comes up for a contract?

I can’t believe those numbers. Rather have 2 JT Millers in my top 6 than one Panarin. The salary would be even cheaper for the 2 Millers....

We wouldn't have any players because I would refuse to sign almost anyone for what they are asking. You want what!? Are you high right now!? Who do you expect to have for linemates a pylon with a stick duct taped to it? How am I going to afford the duct tape? Your out!

kloubek Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Panarin is excellent, but I don't think he is worth that. I think the more we see teams like Toronto and Edmonton hand out these huge contracts, the more we will all realize it is very difficult to maintain the rest of the team. Besides that, as good as these guys are, GMs are placing a lot of eggs in one basket. Your superstar goes down and you arent left with much else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Popular Post theo5789 Posted June 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2019 3 hours ago, grandmaster said: 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. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him deal with contracts and let Benning find the talent. Like the Luongo contract? Yeah that’s worked out swell. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
