ESPN sources: The LA Kings have acquired standout forward Artemi Panarin from the NY Rangers in exchange for a conditional third-round pick and prospect Liam Greentree, per me and
@emilymkaplan
Rangers also retain 50% of his salary
Holland breaks his own rule that you're not allowed to squeeze anyone, even if the player gets to hand pick their destination.
Hilarious return by Drury.

The first round series against them is going to be more interesting.

Certainly would expect them to climb back up now. 4 points back of us with 3 games in hand.
I wanna see what contract Holland gives Panarin as he approaches 35 this year to feel better about all this.

Well sheet. That doesn't make me feel better. Neither of these events are Ken Holland-like compared to his time here, the trade or the extension.
Guess Panarin demanding the Kings as the only option as a pending UFA is unique vs anything GM's deal with here.

Sounds like Panarin dug his feet in and would only accept a trade to LA. Have always seen comments around him that he only wants to play in big cities and live the big city life. So possible that New York and LA are the only places he's actually willing to play if he gets to choose.
