Barn Burner: Boomer & Pinder with Rhett Warrener - Artemi Panarin TRADE WATCH Is On 🚨 w/TSN's Darren Dreger | BB Clips

Starting point is 00:00:01 It sounds like there's about half the league that really wants Artemi Panarin. That just means it's a really good player and it's not close to getting done in my mind because everyone would be better with him and whether it's an extension or as a rental and he has huge control over the process with a full no move. This one to me has the feel of like Marshaun in Boston, Giroux in Philly, where if he wants to just pick one spot, he can really handcuff the Rangers. Absolutely. And his preference, if not demand, is to get the,

Starting point is 00:00:31 extension. We've heard four years at around 11 million per. He's a 34-year-old man, still thinks that he's got at least four more good years ahead of him. And if that's true, then that number is valid. That number is fair. Not many teams, contending teams in the East would be able to stomach it, maybe a couple, depending on how things work out. Carolina Hurricanes are always in these sweepstakes, right? And Tom Nunn has proven that he with Eric now as general manager, they can get stuff done. We saw that,

Starting point is 00:01:05 you know, in first acquiring Mika Raton and then ultimately trading them to the Dallas stars. But talk about big game hunting, it doesn't get a whole lot bigger than that. So it'll come down to more about whether Artemey Panarin sees the fit

Starting point is 00:01:22 and wants to play that style of hockey in Carolina. The Washington Capitals are a player on Artemey Paneran. as we talked about an insider trading. The LA Kings have interest, but they'd prefer more of a center than a winger. A bit of a long shot. Of course, San Jose was Celebrini and Will Smith, and they have tons of cap space.

Starting point is 00:01:43 But, like, what if Panarin was willing to roll the dice? And look, you know, Paul Philophanos, who represents Artemi Panarin, I'm sure is having conversations with clubs across the league. And there are teams that are probably saying, look, we like the idea, Panarin, we just, we can't make the full deal yet. So we'd be more comfortable as a free agent target.

Starting point is 00:02:08 And then you've got Dallas who fits now Dallas, you know, they've got Jason Robertson expiring. But how fun would it be if you're Dallas to go, okay, he's a, he's a pure rental. But we're going to bring him in here and we're going to make Jason Robertson work for it. We've got one mega contract to give and it's going to the. best guy. Is that Panarin? Or is it Jason Robertson? Robertson, they'd have the rights, I suppose, so they could trade him. So you're right. I mean, there are all kinds of fascinating potential scenarios and possibilities when we look at Panarin. Is there any, I mean,

Starting point is 00:02:50 I know that's the first cutoff for the trades. Do you think there's going to be stuff done before that? Are the GMs and players wanting it done before Olympic break? Does it matter? Is it probation still a virtue? Yeah, I think we are going to see activity, plenty of activity between now and February 4th, the Olympic roster freeze because of the obvious. And the obvious is when the freeze lifts in February 22nd, it's going to be organized chaos between that and March 6th. And not just the obvious, you know, the trade deadline stuff. You're going to have agents and general managers, more of the general managers somewhat in panic trying to get certain players extended. We've already seen contract extensions of some of the bigger guys, but we talked about

Starting point is 00:03:38 Alex Tucker earlier. I mean, if Yarmow isn't going to get that done anytime soon, I would think he'd want to get that solidified before March 6th. Again, just to take the distraction away, you know, take that storyline out of the equation because Alex Tuck and everybody associated with the Sabres is going to have to live with that question from media until they're eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoff. So that adds an added twist to what we're going to expect in that 12-day window.

Starting point is 00:04:07 And then look, I mean, the Rangers sent out yet another letter, you know, pleading with their fan base to be patient through another retool, rebuild. And then they take their star player out of the equation, you know, until the, the, the, the, the, the, the, break. Well, these, you know, fans are paying 300 bucks plus a pop to go to Madison Square Garden to watch what exactly from the New York Rangers. So there's a lot of factors that come into play between now and the break. When you see a guy get scratched that far ahead, like it's probably a week out from the roster freeze.

Starting point is 00:04:40 Yeah. I think the first reaction from fans is to say, oh, this has got to be close. Like they're preserving the asset. Yeah. But the number of teams that you just mentioned and that we've heard mentioned and the different types of scenarios of the trade. control he's got like i don't know that doesn't have the feeling of imminent from way far away and you know is are you going to let this faster over the whole olympic break and then into the end of fab yeah that wouldn't be ideal for anyone and i wonder if uh if if artemate panerran doesn't steal page from rasmus anderson where you wake up and you go all right it's sunday morning enough of this nonsense i'm calling it and I mean, it was masterful work by the Anderson camp to revisit that because, you know,

Starting point is 00:05:27 he went from engaging with Boston on an extension to go, nope, I'm not signing an extension with anyone. You know, and then Connie just looked at the best deal. And I'm sure Vegas had to sweeten that deal, but they make the deal, right? Because, you know, it was called at that point. All chips in. Let's go. This is over.

Starting point is 00:05:45 And maybe Panarin does that. Maybe he goes, okay, here's the team I'm going to. because my agent knows that the extension dollars are going to work. I'm going to get it done. I'm not going to move twice. So stop dealing with all of these other clubs. It's that team or nothing. And I'm going to free agency.

Starting point is 00:06:04 And that would probably get Chris or, yeah, Chris Curry's attention very quickly and would probably expedite a deal.
