Confirmed with Link: Rangers sign Artemi Panarin (7 years, $11.64M AAV)

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Funny that the TSN dais is discussing the cap system and how they would all love a system that allowed teams to keep their big name players by granting each team a single player cap exemption.

Keep the conversation going into the next CBA please... then all of this Panarin stuff wouldnt matter. Probably would use it on Kakko at that point but it would certainly help the big market teams like the Rangers.

Personally I think they should be encouraging player movement, not discouraging it.

 

[Machinehead]

Only the Yankees are allowed.

Lol I hate when we're down 4 runs and they come out and do that.

He wants to be rich in NYC

Apparently is going to be, if not already. Life is really good for the bagel man.......I mean......

 

[Dijock94]

Trade Vlad and CK and then we are all set. Would just need to add a depth bottom 6 forward or two.

Nieves/Belesky/Lettieri/Gettinger. We have some in house options to fill bottom 6 roles.

 

[Larrybiv]

I actually love that song. I am now totally over you not knowing Panarin took less. You are now my best friend.

Aaaah thanx, and you.......me. or is that me......you? Lmao. I am drunk, sorry.

In b4 Panera Bread becomes a team sponsor, opens an outlet inside MSG, and has Sam announcing on air that he's available to consume soup and sandwiches.

Nothing will ever top consuming the Pizza.....nothing. Lol.

Well damn, that's one big contract.
Even with cap inflation I'm not sure Panarin is worth $1m more than Kane, or a mil or so less than McDavid. Damn good player...
I also get the feeling that his first few seasons will be 'wasted' here as the rookies learn their craft, but at least he'll be entertaining to watch!

 

[Larrybiv]

This is crazy. I popped in that CD yesterday, which I NEVER do.

Crazy coincidence. Are you my best friend now too? Ala, "thirty one"? Now......I HAVE TO go and play that CD, and reminisce on some good times.

 

[Bob Richards]

No we need to keep that one open.

Matt Gilroy's NHL return speculation is boiling.

Yes. haha. And this off-season has you wishing for endless summer nights.

Sexiest thing I’ve seen since Marchand crying in the SCF.

Nieves synergy inbound?

Zibanejad.

Piece of Cake?

I'm on board with it. Although I was thinking we spread the wealth on Zibanejad to compensate for our lack of center depth.

I'm on board with it. Although I was thinking we spread the wealth on Zibanejad to compensate for our lack of center depth.

I remain optimistic about the guys we drafted as centers.

 

[ElLeetch]

Most teams that win the cup, do it on the back of two star players. Crosby/Malkin. Kane/Towes. Johnson/Kopitar. Ovechkin/Backstrom.

With Kakko and Panarin, we might have that duo now. we've had our brushes with star players (Jagr, Gaborik, Nash) but never two at the same time.

 

[Machinehead]

I remain optimistic about the guys we drafted as centers.

I do too but they're young yet. Playing with Panarin could be a favorable situation for a young center.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Could you imagine if Kravstov becomes one of those guys too?
