Rumor: Artemi Panarin Changes Agents

[Crede777]

Panarin just killed his chances of ever being reunited with Kane

In a pretty candid interview months ago Panarin was asked his thoughts about Chicago and his message was "been there, done that."

 

[Fro]

Dovetails with a tidbit in Russo's last podcast (around the 27:00 mark): Bobrovsky and Panarin left Minnesota together on a private jet headed for Florida after the Jackets/Wild game (right before the All Star break).

Yeah they both own places there

 

[Maylo]

Paul Theofanous former special forces officer, he's kinda specializes on russian players, was dealing with russian mafia vs russian players in 90's. Also was Varlamov's witness in his criminal case against his GF.


btw Rangers fans Vitaly Kravtsov is his client.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Word on the street is that LA is shipping out Quick+Pallfy+Jason Allison to CBJ for both Bob and Panarin.

Man how'd they pull that off without giving up Alexander Frolov?

 

[Bazeek]

Yeah they both own places there

That makes sense. Honestly, after watching the Parise and Suter thing unfold as it happened and then reading years later about what all actually went on behind the scenes, this Panarin/Bobrovsky thing seems like it's an order of magnitude more telegraphed than that was.

If Panarin and Bob want to play together, then why are they not willing to stay in Columbus?

Not too many teams could afford to add the 16 million or more they would potentially be asking.

This guy sounds awesome

He's untouchable.

Lavar Ball ?

Crosby is never going to win a SC in pittsburgh without Panarin!

 

[Maylo]

Bob also moved to ST Petersburgh and bought a place next to Panarin's, the designer who was in charge of innovating Panarin's place, now is working with Bob on his place. They are pretty much inseparable now.

Is this good for the BJs?

Can't be any worse.

Meh ,disagreement with agents happen all the time....Some agents arent as sleasy as others

Florida can

We saw this happen with Pacioretty prior to him being dealt to Vegas, where he signed an extension. Wonder if a similar situation plays out here.

The thing with Patches was that his agent was Pat Brisson, Tavares' agent. My speculation is that Patches wanted to get moved this offseason, and they almost had a trade-and-sign at the draft (potentially with the Islanders) but it fell through and that was that. Patches saw Brisson was devoting most of his energy to one particular client, and found an agent willing to prioritize him and get him his current contract on Vegas.

For this situation, maybe Panarin isn't closing the book on negotiating in-season? Perhaps that directive came as a negotiation tactic from his old agent and not the player himself.

 

[Macch]

Why would they be a package deal?

It makes no sense

 

[Devilsfan118]

Do any of us actually have any idea what this means? Anyone?

Me neither

I can confirm that it may, or may not, impact where plays next season.

There was never an agent as LOUD and as attention seeking as Milstein.

Probably about Sorokin though...

What happened to "my word is oak"????

I dont get why some agents are like this.....There are only 31 teams being a clown with them will only hurt your ability to conduct business...Sometimes you do need to advise your client to back off a little no??

No, Patches fired his agent because he was friends with Bergevin and the guy probably tried to pressure him into signing with LA the night of the draft.

Happens occasionally. If the Sedins ever left Vancouver I'm sure they would have been a package deal. Grabovski & Kulemin a few years back was essentially a package deal.

There are 2 big fishes left in his pool, Kucherov and Vasy. (i don't count Zaytsev as a bigh fish, sorry Leafs fans.)


There was a story lately, Panarin during his live chat shared that he gifted Kane a watches, as a" thank you for everything" gift. He didn't specify what kind of watches it was or anything. What Milstein did? He went to do an interview immediatley., brought this story up for no reason and started braggin how those watches were priceless("you understand it right"), and how "he was involved in choosing them".. and "it was definetly worth more that $10K because you know...."

I'd assume he's paid in cash.
