Artemi Panarin, the 35-year-old star winger, just got dealt from New York to Los Angeles. The Kings sent over a conditional third-round pick, a conditional fourth-rounder, and their No. 2 prospect, Liam Greentree, to land him. Panarin was seen as the top player available, and this move aims to boost the Kings' weak offense heading into the playoffs. Earlier this week, Dallas Stars fans felt a bit of a sting watching Panarin head to the Western Conference.
What are the details of Artemi Panarin's trade to the Kings?
But the Stars never really had a shot anyway. General Manager Jim Neal lacked the cap space without trading young star Jason Robertson or gutting the depth chart. Robertson matches Panarin's stats over the last three seasons and is nearly a decade younger, so that was never happening.
Meanwhile, Stars fans can breed easier, knowing the Kings would need a miracle to reach the conference finals, where they'd first meet Dallas.
The Pacific Division has been total chaos this year, and Los Angeles has struggled mightily. That said, this trade could give the Kings just enough firepower to sneak into the postseason. Their offense has been the big issue, and Panarin's skill should help turn things around. Looking ahead, nil isn't done yet. The Stars have just over $3 million in cap space to play with after the Olympic break. With the roster freeze-lifting in 18 days, expect more moves, maybe involving prospect, Maverick Borco, over the 12 days before players return.
