Rumors are swirling about a blockbuster trade for New York Rangers star Artemi Panarin, and the stars are right in the mix as frontrunners alongside.

Sportsnet's Elia Friedman added fuel on his podcast, saying Panarin prefers a trade with an extension attached, but he'd consider the Stars even. As a rental player through the playoffs, that could be the spark Dallas needs, especially with their GM Jim Neal eyeing moves to contend for the Cup. The catch is sorting out restrictive free agent Jason Robertson's extension first.

As Friedman notes, Neal won't pull the trigger on anything major. Until that's settled... For their part, the Rangers might demand a hefty package like Colorado sent for Brock Nelson. A top prospect, a solid depth player and first and third round picks. Panarin's having another monster year with 19 goals and 37 assists for 56 points in 51 games on pace for 89 points.
