Heavy argues that the New York Rangers likely regret trading veteran star forward Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings. Following injuries during the 2026-27 campaign, the Rangers are missing Panarin's offensive production and playmaking presence, especially on their power-play unit under head coach Mike Sullivan.
The Rangers traded Panarin in February 2026 in exchange for Liam Greentree, a 2026 third-round draft pick, and a 2028 fourth-round draft pick. Panarin has registered 28 points in his first 15 games with Los Angeles, while New York prepares to face the Calgary Flames.
