Proposal: - NYR-MN | HFBoards - NHL Message Board and Forum for National Hockey League

Proposal: NYR-MN

Nope. No one wants Panarin with his accusation and settlement. You're especially asking for trouble in Minnesota's media market. Absolutely not!


“The NHL stated that the Rangers had retained an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation, with which the league was fully apprised, and considered the matter closed.”

Minnesota media would still take wild to the woodshed. if you're a Minnesotan, you should know Minnesota's media. they are the absolute. Research Gophers football sex scandal. Even players who weren't involved, or weren't in the apartment, the media was doing everything they can to paint them in Guilty light and have them thrown out of school. Players literally had to sue the school and Media for the truth to come out and be able to stay in School.

So with all these said, No thanks to Panarin and what happened.
 

“In the last few days, I’m starting to hear some interesting whispers surrounding Artemi Panarin,” Pagnotta reported. Now, I don’t know if he’s fully available, but he’s got one year left on his contract, and they’ve got to decide whether they want to keep going with this core group or if they can move Panarin, get a significant return, and use that cap space – along with some of that capital – to rejig the roster.

“I don’t know if that’s the path they’re going to take, and it might be totally premature for me to even bring it up, but we’re going to hear some interesting storylines about how the New York Rangers retool for next season,” Pagnotta added.
 
Dude is 33. Probably about to hit the mid 30's dropoff in the next couple years. Add to that the wafting odor surrounding these allegations AND they think teams would give up a lot for him? I'm not saying he did or didn't do it, but it just isn't something I want hovering around the team regardless. If he's cleared, I hope he does well wherever he is or gets shipped out to.

So, nah. I'm good. I don't think he'd be worth the price the Wild would have to give up to get him.

33 but his style of play will age well imo, he’s been incredibly durable. This would be a win now move. Curious as to what the Rangers can get for him if he’d agree to waive.
 
As a Wild fan I’d do it just for injecting talent and shaking up our roster. Spurgeon is effective still but he can be gone. Welcome Artemi !!!

He's only got one more year on his contract? Nah...we're good. Great player, but he will be 35 yo when his new contract kicks in, and will be wanting 12M+/yr. on his new contract. With Kaprizov also getting a big number, Wild will be paying wingers in their 30's huge $$ that have never won anything.

MN needs to get younger... any return for Rossi has to be for someone of a similar age. Panarin, as good as he is, is 10 years older, which is a lifetime in hockey.

While Rossi would be a downgrade talent wise for NYR, he would be a nice piece for a rebuild, but i don't see Spurgeon being something they need. If Spurgeon goes anywhere(no smoke on that, so far), you would think that it would be to a Cup contender like Edmonton who could really use a RHD.
 
1 year of Panarin for a young player. That's beyond bad.
-Signed NYR fan.
 
I don't think you get Rossi straight up for Panarin. Between his contract and off ice controversy not sure Panarin has the greatest value. I would put it maybe as a mid(say 15-20) first for a team that highly values his offensive output and has the capspace
 
I never thought that i would be feeling sorry for NYR fans just a few years after them getting the #1 and #2oa in the draft(nvm Kavtsov). At the time of their respective drafts, they took the players that were the consensus "best" ones, yet here we are 4-5 years later seeing them having to do a rebuild.

Yet another reminder that draft picks, while important, are not everything
