I would want a player like Panarin around.

He's a really, really good player still.

And I don't think time will really bite him because it's not like he's super fast right now.

He's played the same way for the better part of his career and he still puts up huge point numbers.

He feels the game.

So when I read that Carolina's interested, this didn't work with Rantanen when Carolina tried.

Remember, stylistically, it didn't seem to fit.

Maybe his heart really wasn't in it as we look through that he ended up trading him again.

I don't see Carolina as the right type of fit for him.

I see Los Angeles because they need offense and they need defense.

They need a star.

And Kopitar's retiring.

They're going to have pockets of cap room at the end of the year.

And LA feels like a team that, now, do they really have a shooter?

I guess Kempe or Fiala.

But that would be one team that I would think of.

Dallas makes, to me, the most sense.

But how are they going to sign him to an extension when they've got to sign Robertson, too?

And then you have to decide between the two of them.

Right.
