Here's a fun fact for you today:

Mikhail Pashnin - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

The Rangers drafted this guy in 2009, they still hold his rights :laugh:
Yeah, they drafted Ilya Gorokhov in 1995 and held onto his rights until the mid/late-00's. It was weird. The old Rangers website used to even list him in the "In the System Section" even though he was like 30. Gorokhov was a good Russian Superleague/KHL player for a long time. Maybe the Rangers think Pashnin might one day want to come over?

There is no reason to give up the rights unless you get close to the max of the reserve list (which I think is 90).
 
Yeah first off, Panarin is more valuable then Zbad IMO. Especially to this team who is dearth on the wing especially for elite top end talent. I would be happy to slot Zbad down to the second PP as the trigger man. Two great PP is better than one.

Panarin would be an absolute steal at this point for this team. Fills such great need at more than one area and his age fits perfect with this next window.
 
Panarin to Tampa lol. As if that team isn't loaded enough.

But I want that 2019 first rounder.
They'd still find a way to blow it.

They don't have the right guys to win imo. Good players but something is missing when the chips are down. It's been a long time since I saw a good team get eliminated with less of a fight than they put up this year.

Nashville 3 seasons ago.

Us 4 seasons ago. Their game 7 was very, very reminiscent of our game 7 in 2015.

Not signing Panarin because of the perception that he won't fit on the power play makes no sense. For a player if his caliber, you make room for him. Either put him in the slot or along the half wall on the first unit.

yeah for sure.

Yeah, this stood out to me too as I was watching them. Looked like AV was behind the bench in general. I think Cooper gets too much credit that actually belongs to his roster.

The stench of too many former Rangers from the 2013-15 teams is what the problem is for them.
