Rangers star could request a trade after developing a rift with General Manager
Artemi Panarin is a staple in the New York Rangers lineup, since his move from Columbus to Broadway. The major change this year was a post-season run with a major Head Coaching change with Gerard Gallant taking the helm.
However, there may be a rift between new GM Chris Drury and Panarin, which is unfortunate. Panarin has a full NMC for the full 4 years of his contract, which would make a trade difficult. Given, that his usually game-changing self wasn't on display in the 2nd round against the Tampa Bay Lightning, it would make sense Drury isn't fully bought in.
Despite the fact, that he had 16 points in 20 games, which is almost a point per game pace at .8 PPG doesn't seem like a superstar performance, for such a usually electric player.
Artemi Panarin's salary is $12,500,000 and his cap hit is $11,642,857 for the 2022-23 season. His salary is comprised of $11,500,000 in signing bonuses and $1,000,000 in base salary. He is a 30 year old left wing who was born on Oct. 30, 1991. He has signed 3 contracts worth a total value of $100,500,000. Over a career that spans 7 seasons (with at least 1 NHL GP), he has a total 569 Pts in 508 GP, and 44 playoffs Pts in 50 GP. He will be a UFA at the end of the 2025-26 season when he is 34 years old.
