Overview
- Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports New York’s starting ask mirrors last year’s Brock Nelson return, centering on a first-round pick, a top prospect and a third-rounder.
- Friedman named the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings and Washington Capitals as clubs doing due diligence on the winger.
- Panarin holds a full no‑move clause, so any trade depends on his consent and could include permission for teams to negotiate an extension in advance.
- Frank Seravalli says league belief is Panarin wants a longer-term contract, potentially stretching to age 40, which would shape which teams pursue him now.
- Cap considerations loom with an $11.6 million hit and possible retention requests, while Panarin’s 56 points this season underlines his high market value.
