Rangers ship Panarin to Kings ahead of Olympic roster freeze

Artemi Panarin was traded from the New York Rangers to the Los Angeles Kings just before the NHL’s Olympic roster freeze, in exchange for forward prospect Liam Greentree (a 2024 first-round pick) and a conditional third-round pick that becomes a second-round pick if L.A. wins a playoff series, plus a 2028 fourth-round pick if the Kings reach the second round. The Rangers will retain half of Panarin’s prorated $11.6 million salary this season, and Panarin is expected to sign a two-year extension with L.A. at about $11 million per year; the move signals a Rangers retool as they pivot around their core.

Capitals push for Panarin heats up as Olympic roster freeze nears

With the Olympic roster freeze looming, the Washington Capitals are pursuing Artemi Panarin from the New York Rangers, who remain the top asset on the trade market. Panarin and his agent reportedly want a $50 million extension, with Florida as his preferred destination if possible, but Washington has emerged as a serious contender due to cap flexibility. The Capitals would need to clear space (about $5.8M available, roughly $34.8M next summer) and the Rangers could require salary retention to facilitate a deal. No moves can be made once the freeze starts Wednesday at 3 p.m. until February 22.
