Breadman to Raleigh? Hurricanes as Panarin’s wildcard trade option
The NHL trade market heats up as Artemi Panarin is linked to a Carolina Hurricanes fit, with a proposed deal sending Jesperi Kotkaniemi, top prospect Bradly Nadeau, a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2027 second-round pick to New York while the Rangers retain 50% of Panarin’s salary; the move hinges on Panarin agreeing to a long-term extension and fitting Brind’Amour’s system.
