Player Discussion Artemi Panarin

[Bob Richards]

Really can't understate how special his season is. This fan base never gets to see one of our guys put up a scoring output like this.

Bring me triple digits.

 

[darko]

Progressing upwards. Prob finish with 120 this year. If he continues his rate of progression we could be looking at 150 next year.

180+ the year after

I don't want to be that homer guy, but IMO Panarin is the best player in hockey right now and this may be the most impressive regular season by a NY Ranger skater ever.

On pace for ~120pts on a team with no structured system.

He really elevates the play of his linemates like no other in the league. Ryan Strome played with McDavid and Draisaitl and wasn't able to produce when placed next to them. Cam Atkinson's numbers have significantly regressed without him. He seems to elevate the production of his linemates better than any player in the league.

Rangers could've done a lot of damage this year if the organization built a solid team/coach around him, but that seems to be a long ways away.

MacKinnon has Rantanen
McDavid has Draisaitl
Pastrnak has Bergeron
Panarin has Strome and Fast

 

[will1066]

MacKinnon has Rantanen
Crosby has Draisaitl
Pastrnak has Bergeron
Panarin has Strome and Fast

Strome + Fast > Bergeron
Strome + Fast = Rantanen
Strome + Fast > Draisaitl

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Strome + Fast > Bergeron
Strome + Fast = Rantanen
Strome + Fast > Draisaitl

This has to be sarcasm

 

[SA16]

Crosby plays with Simon and McCann
McDavid has played with Neal and Kassian for a while now

 

[Irishguy42]

MacKinnon has Rantanen
Crosby has Draisaitl
Pastrnak has Bergeron
Panarin has Strome and Fast

McDavid has Malkin

180+ the year after

Such a comfortable thought that in the second to last year of his contract he'll pass Rod Gilbert as franchise leader in points, recording a 270 points season.

The only downside is we could end up in cap hell the year after.

I've always been bad at math

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

McDavid has Malkin

I thought McDavid, and typed Crosby. f***

 

[duhmetreE]

If only he could up his PP production to see his final-form.

We need Kakko on the right wall

 

[Cassano]

With this model. Panarin is the best 5v5 player in the league.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Only 3 points in the last 3 games. He’s gonna fall out of the Ross race if he keeps yeah his up

Strome + Fast > Bergeron
Strome + Fast = Rantanen
Strome + Fast > Draisaitl

Could you explain why?

Everyone else seems to disagree vehemently so what are you seeing that led to this?

 

[ohbaby]

Panarin has only one point in the last 3 games. First slump of the season. At least we won 2 out of 3 even with him not playing his best. He's been turning the puck over lately which he rarely does.

 

[excaliber]

I still don't think he's 100%. He just doesn't look right to me.
Now that it's getting closer to the playoffs teams are really tightening up their D and there's less room to work with.
Panarin was one of the best point per game scorers when he came into the league the last third of the season but the last couple years not so much.
As things tighten up his chances for a 100 pt season look questionable. Stromme and Fast will really have to step up for Panarin to get to 100 pts.
The next 29 games look tough for allot of multiple pt. games for him. I hope he turns it on soon.

 

[Peltz]

I still don't think he's 100%. He just doesn't look right to me.

I have been traveling and haven't seen the last 3 games but caught the final period last night. He looked good there. But, obviously, I cannot comment on the other 8 periods.

He also made at least one really great defensive play last night in the third I liked on his backcheck. So, even when he's not 100%, I still love his game

He'll start producing the way he did again. Listen, teams have played him tight all year and everyone focuses on trying to stop him. You sort of can't contain him even if you want to "clamp down." He's almost like a chess player out there with how he's positioned - he just thinks too far ahead to be contained like that. He's faster than he looks and always knows where to put the puck and create space for others on the line.

Late season and playoff hockey is tighter, yes, but Kings played a tight game yet couldn't stop him from scoring after he set up that play with his mid-air (are you kidding me?) deflection to create the 2 on 1.

 

[Chytilmania]

Can we please get some talent for him to play with! Fast does not belong out there.
I wonder how many more points he would have if he had someone skilled on his line.

They are on their way.

Kakko, Krava plus another 8-14 pick.

 

[gorangers0525]

Imagine if Fast didn't whiff on 90% of the grade A chances Panarin gives him lol.

or, once Kreider is traded, he'll be with Zib and they'll both score 200 points each. Of course the rest of our lines will be quite sad...

 

[RangersFan1994]

and some fans want him resigned even if they overpaid. i want a team to overpay at the deadline which maybe a playoff team needing a defensive forward might do
