I think the New York Rangers would definitely have interest.

I think you're looking at 20 teams that would probably have legitimate interest in at least exploring the possibility of getting their hands on Kirill Kaprizov.

I don't know.

Honestly, it's up to him, man.

It's when he's comfortable, he's ready to go, and the Oilers are just saying, you tell us when, and we'll figure it out.

I don't think there's any blow-up scenario there because I don't think Jimmy Dolan would let that happen.

They tried going through their little...

quasi-rebuild and then they got the lottery and then they won that and got Lafreniere and they escalated things.

I just don't see that type of scenario.

Now, I do think they'll wait a bit to see how the season goes before they determine whether or not they want to lock in Panarin long-term.

I know they'd love to keep him, but some people believe they may wait to determine how the season goes before they make that determination.

You know, like, for example, if they do get in on Kaprizov, if the Wild decide to trade him, well, they have the same agent, him and Panarin.

So I'm sure that's going to be a bit of a factor there.

And it's probably going to cost you a package that includes Lafreniere.

So they're going to have to decide what route they want to take.

I think they want to in terms of making big impact.

And I'm saying this and they may make a huge trade tomorrow.

But the sense I've gotten for now has been they kind of want to wait to see how the season goes, at least in the first half, to get a good indication of where they're at.

Is Panarin going to go back to 90-100 point form?

Is Benajad going to rebound and have a good season?
