#GoKingsGo are closing in on a 2-year extension with newly acquired Artemi Panarin at $11 million per season.
Other teams had been prepared to offer in the neighborhood of 4-years x $11.75m, which is how you know Los Angeles was his preferred destination.
I’m told, as others have reported, that Artemi Panarin wanted to go to the Kings only. That’s the only team the Rangers could negotiate with because of his no-movement clause. He was in control of the process. That hurt NYR’s leverage, of course. (1)
