Trusted NHL insider has just exposed the latest dilemma on the New York Rangers signing super star forward to a contract extension.
Over the last few months, we have seen several superstars sign massive extensions with their respective organization, such as Connor McDavid, Kirill Kaprizov, Jack Eichel, and several others, and now Panarin's future with the Rangers remains unknown.
However, according to NHL insider Pierre LeBrun, the Rangers are in no rush to get a deal done, and are taking a patient approach to see how the season goes.
«But for the moment, my sense of the situation is that it's very early in the season under new head coach Mike Sullivan, the Rangers want to see how things go and therefore are not in a hurry to get going more seriously on talks to extend the pending UFA winger," Lebrun wrote.
It certainly makes sense for the Rangers to want to take this approach with Panarin, as it's clear Panarin's camp is looking for a long-term extension since it could very well be his lost contract of his career, along with him already declining a team friendly deal.
Artemi Panarin Needs To Step Up In Order To Secure Long-Term Extension
Just last season Artemi Panarin was on fire and managed to produce at a very high level despite the ongoing struggles the New York Rangers faced, as he managed to tally a total of 89-points.
However, things seem to have slowed down for the 34-year old forward this season as he only has tallied 7 points throughout 12 games played. So if he wishes to secure a long-term contract extension with a hefty price tag, he will need to step it up a bit.
Do you think the New York Rangers will be parting ways with Artemi Panarin? Let us know in the poll down below.
