You have to find out availability first and then potential cost. KA says he is in on every conversation…

Panarin has a NMC so I doubt Buffalo is even considered. UFA at 34 after this year so it seems like a Rangers cap clearance.

He would instantly boost the top line and be their top playmaker. He would be a rental, so their is a lot of risk but the Sabres have a lot of prospects.

Like the sandwich place? Is this about Artemi Panarin? 

[LGR4GM]

Panarin is all gas no breaks. He is running at 75%+ O-ZONE starts and certainly capitalizes on that. His defense... is more questionable but if you are trading for him it is to juice up your offense. You could slide all the LWs down which would be good but you probably have to move out a wing to do this. Maybe Quinn and Byram gets it done but I am not sure we get a ton better that way. We would have a playmaker for a year and maybe you can get him to re-sign. It would certainly change the look of the top line with

Panarin - Norris or Kulich - Thompson

Benson - Norris or Kulich - Tuch

Zucker - McLeod - Doan

Greenway - Krebs - Malestyn

Pure rental at least from the Sabres perspective and the Sabres have to be open to that.

His skillset is exactly the missing piece up front: playmaking first-line winger; he’d save the PP and turn Norris into a 40-goal scorer.

The cap hit and the NMC would be tough obstacles to overcome.

Wonder what the relationship with Jarmo is like?

Panarins ability to create plays in O-zone is something amazing. His defensive game is... Well, he hasn't done that the games I have watched Rangers, he loses the puck and he stops skating.

Which is more likely; the Sabres trade for Kadri or the Sabres trade for Panarin?  Both have NMC.  Kadri has a 7 mill cap hit, while Panarin’s is 11+.

It depends what else the Flames or Rangers going to give as giving up a 24 year old for a 30 plus old is foolish for this team that isn't one player away from winning a Cup.

They do make a heck of a sammich 

[GoPuckYourself]

None of this matters we still don’t have a goalie.

[JohnC]

Hard no. 

[Flashsabre]

Hard pass. After his legal issues which MSG had to pay off to make disappear and the fact he plays when he feels like it that’s a hard no from me dawg

Dom Hasek isn't walking through that door.

That looks so much more palatable that what we have currently.

Sad thing is you don’t even need a Hasek. Just shows how inept this regime has been with the lack of trying at the position.

I'd be okay with another Ryan Miller.
