US EditionRangers Trade Star Winger Artemi Panarin to Kings for Prospect and Conditional Draft Picks, Report Says
- On Wednesday, the New York Rangers traded winger Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings for prospect Liam Greentree and a conditional third-round pick as the NHL Olympic roster freeze began.
- Because Panarin had a full no-movement clause, the Rangers told him they would work with his agent on a trade to LA last month, sources said.

- Los Angeles gave up prospect Liam Greentree and the Rangers retained half of Panarin's $11.6 million cap hit, while Carolina, Tampa Bay and Washington had been circling him before the trade.
