Rangers Must Decide: Extend or Trade Artemi Panarin

NEW YORK (Aug. 6, 2025) — The New York Rangers and star winger Artemi Panarin are at a contract crossroads as the 33-year-old enters the final year of his seven-year, $81.5 million pact. NHL insider Frank Seravalli reports that, barring a timely extension, New York must either trade Panarin before next season’s deadline or risk losing him for nothing in 2026 free agency.

Panarin delivered a career-best 49 goals and 120 points in 2023–24 after signing in 2019 and has been deemed “untouchable” alongside two other franchise pillars. With both sides weighing term, cap hit and long-term fit, the coming weeks will determine whether the Rangers keep their Swiss Army knife winger or flip him for assets before his contract expires.

Trade Proposal Offers Robertson, Chinakhov Fresh Starts

Toronto and Columbus weigh a one-for-one deal that would send restricted free agent winger Nick Robertson to the Blue Jackets in exchange for Yegor Chinakhov. Both players possess untapped upside but have struggled for consistent roles—Robertson was scratched often in 2024–25 and saw his point production dip, while Chinakhov has publicly clashed with coach Dean Evason. The swap could give each forward a clearer path and help both clubs address depth needs.
