"Per Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts, Rangers forward Artemi Panarin wants the biggest deal he can get, and won't be taking any discounts. Seeing a new Panarin rumor isn't overly surprising, as the Rangers have been awfully quiet on this front and usually when that happens, they are "quietly shopping." Panarin has been the best Rangers UFA signing in organizational history, and it's not even close, but off-ice allegations and sexual assault settlements have plagued him the last year."
"Panarin is off to a slow start with the Rangers, along with the rest of the team. His 2-5-7 line in 11 games looks fine enough, but more than half of that came in one game. The entire Rangers team is starved for offense, so it's not just Panarin, but a slow start like this certainly impacts his trade value."
Artemi Panarin intends to secure the largest contract available and will not take a discount. Panarin became the best unrestricted free-agent signing in Rangers history. Off-ice allegations and sexual-assault settlements have harmed his reputation over the past year. Panarin and the Rangers have started the season slowly; Panarin has 2 goals and 5 assists for 7 points in 11 games, with most production coming in one game. The team's offensive struggles lower Panarin's trade value. Panarin's no-move clause could complicate a deal, but he may welcome a change of scenery to boost scoring ahead of free agency.
