Capitals pursue Panarin only with extension, aiming for a $50M deal
Elliotte Friedman reports Panarin is a hot trade target, but the Capitals want an extension in place before any deal, with a target around $50 million total spread over 3–6 years. Washington is viewed as a legitimate contender, along with San Jose, Carolina, and Detroit, while others are considered unlikely. Rangers could require salary retention. Expect trade activity ahead of the February 4 Olympic roster freeze and March 6 deadline.
