Artemi Panarin Won't Play for the Rangers Through the Olympic Break, AP Source Says
- Wednesday, the New York Rangers removed Artemi Panarin from the lineup, and he is not expected to play through the Olympic break for roster management reasons.
- Earlier this month, the New York Rangers announced a retool after a disappointing first half, and Chris Drury, general manager, told Artemi Panarin they would not offer a new contract.
- Panarin is in the final season of a seven-year, $81.5 million contract and counts $11.6 million against the cap with 19 goals, 38 assists, and 57 points this year.
- The Rangers are seeking a first-round pick and top prospect in return, sources say, with the March 6, 2026 trade deadline approaching and calls on Braden Schneider and Vincent Trocheck ongoing.
- The Rangers' Monday trade of Carson Soucy to the New York Islanders marked just the fourth-ever crosstown trade, highlighting a roster shift before the NHL Olympic roster freeze: 3 p.m. ET Feb. 4 through Feb. 22.
