wrong move for the kings. la needs a center not another aging winger. Greentree was the best young prospect the Kings had. Holland is an idiot. Kings will have no depth down the middle.
this trade is a little bit more of an intelligent discussion for us Plebs than normal but there still is so much backstage stuff that we're not going to be told about. As a Vancouver fan when J.T got sent back to New York, it was a good deal for us but then the Canucks traded away a first round draft pick to Pittsburgh for an underwhelming defenseman and a bottom six forward which to be honest looks like a decision a Mentally ill person would make but behind the scenes who knows what happened.
The NYR management are pathetic. Trading one of the best players in teams history and the one superstar that spent most of his peak years with the club and was ready to retire a Ranger. The fans come to see stars play. The club bosses have no idea how the club story is written. Why do they think the Penguins keep Sidney and the Caps still keep Ovi? Because it’s club’s glory, the history of the franchise and of the sport. NYR being the most attractive place for star players (Messier, Wayne, Bure, Jagr) can’t capitalize on that advantage. Stupid management. You don’t hire a former player to run a club like the NYR. You need an Ivy League graduate.
The biggest winner are both L.A and Artemi. He wanted to move to L.A for retirement in a warm beautiful place to golf and surf. It's a dream for someone who come from Russia.
I think if you look into the history of trades in all sports, whoever is getting the main piece/ best player in the trade wins that trade 90% of the time. The only two times that is not the case is when a prospect or future draft pick turns into a home run. Or when the best play player in the trade is either getting too old or suffers a career altering injury. The last fair trade that I can think of for one of my hometown teams was trading for Ryan O’Reilly in the summer of 2018. O’Reilly won the con Smythe trophy the following year and helped bring St. Louis. It’s first ever Stanley Cup. So the short term return turned out great for St. Louis. However, Buffalo received Tage Thompson!!! They got him at like 20-21 years old and he’s obviously turned into a goal scoring machine for the sabres. They also got a first and second round pick. Off the top of my head I’m not sure who those players turned out to be. But St. Louis did the best job they could limiting the value of those picks by winning the Stanley Cup and having the last pick in the draft.
The letter didn't help but the breadman screwed them. There were at least 2 other deals on the table with extentions. One in particular from Seattle was a big overpayment. But the breadman killed the other two deals and said he was only going to LA. He forced the Rangers to take a bad deal or risk losing him for nothing
If the Rangers actually said they were dumping Panarin, that may be the 1st time I've heard of such stupidity. What EVERY team does is the opposite: 'We are ABSOLUTELY NOT trading Panarin. He is a valuable player in this organization and our objective is for him to finish a long successful career here as a Ranger." Then trade him the next day. When you tell teams you're dumping a guy, they now know they can low-ball you because you now HAVE to move him.

Rangers messed up for sure

Rangers got him for nothing in the first place
If anyone thinks the Rangers won this trade, they are insane

LA will lose that trade in the end. The Rangers had Panarin and they sucked, why would LA be any better.
no not the right move
The Rangers don’t know how to pick anyway they don’t know how to pick their own nose
You missed that the Kings also threw in the 2014 Stanley Cup DVD collection.
This is a BIG win for LA.
The biggest winner are both L.A and Artemi. He wanted to move to L.A for retirement in a warm beautiful place to golf and surf. It's a dream for someone who come from Russia.
I could care less about this trade because I'm not a fan of either team, but man, Kings got a star player for almost nothing…

3-2 and Italy has their 2nd goalie in due to an injury to Clara
Oops wrong vid
LA for sure!
People are sleeping on Greentree…

The Mistake was trading him ! Panarin should have been re signed with the Rangers long ago. Drury is a clueless moron

Drury is a moron, plain and simple.
