Overview

  • Artemi Panarin, 33, has begun the final season of the seven-year, $81.5 million deal he signed with the Rangers in 2019.
  • At the first on-ice practice of training camp Thursday, Panarin declined to discuss his future and said he is ready to work hard.
  • General manager Chris Drury praised Panarin as a key player and said any contract discussions with his camp will remain private.
  • Since joining New York in 2019, Panarin ranks fourth in NHL points and has led the Rangers in scoring every season, including a 49-goal, 120-point campaign in 2023-24.
  • The team seeks a rebound after last season's drop-off, and The Sporting News reports the club could eye Kirill Kaprizov if he becomes available, with Panarin's status potentially a factor.
