The Rangers are stale and are handcuffed with some of their deals. Panarin is a perennial 90-100 point player with another year remaining on his contract after this one. If the Rangers eat half his salary his cap hit is 5.8M which is extraordinarily cheap for what he brings. You would get two cracks at the can with him at a sub-6M cap hit and he hasn’t regressed the way Kreider or Zibanejad have - he’s basically the whole offense.
What’s the best package your team would put together? Rangers could use younger NHL or close to NHL ready talent, primarily at C or LHD, but open to best package available.
