Player Discussion Artemi Panarin

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Hasn't scored more than 2 points in a game all season. Waste of money. Albatross. Bobby Holik + Wade Redden combined.

Hasn't scored more than 2 points in a game all season.

This is actually where there’s hidden reserve. With any luck he’d already had a few 3- or 4-point games, so we know these are coming, and likely sooner than later.

 

[Kocur Dill]

I'd rather he contributed 82 1pt games than have a 3 pt game and go missing the next 3 games.

This exactly.

As much as hit total production, it's been his consistency that's impressed me.
You know the guy is going to make something happen in pretty much every game.

He can do that because he's not relying on just his shot or just his vision.
Many guys have vision--Strome is probably underrated in this regard--but the difference is that Panarin is more consistent at creating his own passing and shooting lanes to make use of that vision.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

This dude is scary good. His anticipation of where pucks are going is mind blowing, amongst the best I've ever seen. And he just rarely if ever turns the puck over in the offensive zone. He's always finding somebody and unfortunately that somebody is usually one of our point men who's either a rookie defenseman or Brady Skjei

 

[FoxyClean]

Our best player (outside of prime Hank), since 05-06 Jagr. And before Jagr... Messier? Leetch? Crazy.

The Bread Man delivers...

LaFontaine still had the magic and produced very well until his final concussion, unfortunately early in his Rangers tenure.

 

[Good Intentions]

At the risk of being genetically repetitive, we are beyond fortunate to have him. In every facet, he has exceeded every optimistic expectation I had of what he may be.

edit: quick addition, question for those who would know: I recall an impressive advances metric for Panarin: Top 1% in successful zone entries and 99 percentile for successful zone entries. Who else is in this company?

 

[excaliber]

Blackhwaks fan here. Kane and Panarin are my two favorite players and I watch them play every chance I get. I've watched allot of Panarin since he came into the league.
You guys are seeing how he's played his entire NHL career. He could easily be a 40 goal scorer but choses to dish the puck.
He's in the top % of forwards in this league without a doubt. He makes everyone he plays with allot better. I don't think there is anyone in the league who can draw coverage and still dish the puck so well. He's worth every penny you paid for him.
If guys could finish he'd have two assists a game or more.
I thought I heard the announcers say he's been on the ice for 58% of the goals the team has scored so far this year.

I like the Rangers young chemistry. They are fun to watch and greatly improved over last year.

Imaging we had a player like panarin who can legitimate steal games (similar to hank) back when our window was open?

We weren't as good as in later years but we did have Hank and Jagr.

Yeah letting Jags walk was the worst.

 

[Leetch3]

as the standard disclaimer goes, most likely stolen from @Amazing Kreiderman somehow

Rangers probably win the cup in 2014 if they had Panarin.

Not even Jagr?

Honestly... They sucked the fun out of doing these stats for me, so I now only the really obscure ones like Kakko being the 4th youngest to score in overtime etc. It sucks that I have to check every morning if they didn't already tweet something similar.

I'll say this... They're no longer copying my stuff but they certainly copied my style. Oh well. People calling it out is fun though. At least people know where this shit started

Or if the refs didn't forget the goaltender interference rule that series.

Ehhhh....

That LA Team was a dominating nightmare. Similar to our 94 Cup team. They just had that look to their game all season where it was inevitable.

 

[JohnC]

I can't be the only person that thinks cherry picked Elias Sports Bureau-type stats needed to be sh0t into the sun over a decade ago, right?

I'd be curious to see what those who strongly opposed Panarin, think now.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He's been nothing short of a superstar for us since the season started. Love him.

 

[darko]

100 point pace.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

He's the gamechanger we've been looking for since we let Jags go. Gaborik wasn't it, Nash wasn't it. Panarin has so far lived up to the expectations. He's been superstar level for us.
