Adrian Kempe is officially listed as day-to-day and could play tonight for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles Kings</a> against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-flyers">Philadelphia Flyers</a> at Crypto.com Arena on March 19, , with puck drop set for 10:30 PM ET in the United States.



The Swedish winger missed the team’s previous game with a lower-body injury, but there is growing optimism inside the organization that he could return, with reports indicating he is “probable” or at least has a real chance to suit up.



His status remains one of the key storylines, especially after he was a late scratch earlier in the week despite taking warmups. The Kings have labeled him day-to-day, and head coach D.J. Smith has expressed hope that the forward can go.



<h2>What happened to Adrian Kempe?</h2>



Adrian Kempe suffered a lower-body injury and is currently listed as day-to-day for the Los Angeles Kings. The forward was a late scratch in a recent game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a> despite taking part in warmups, with reports indicating the issue may have occurred just before puck drop.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/19131213/Adrian-Kempe-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-601254"></figure>



The injury forced him to miss his first game of the 2025–26 season, and while the team has not disclosed full details, early indications suggest it is not considered serious. The Kings are monitoring him closely.



<h2>How important has Adrian Kempe been this season?</h2>



Adrian Kempe has been one of the Los Angeles Kings’ top offensive leaders this season, leading the team in scoring production. He has recorded 26 goals and 58 points in 66 games, underlining his role as a primary scoring option in the lineup.



Beyond the numbers, he has been a driving force in the Kings’ attack, consistently producing in key moments and anchoring top-line combinations. He also ranks among the team leaders in goals, assists and total points.

Artemi Panarin recorded an assist in his first game back at Madison Square Garden since being traded to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles Kings</a>, helping Los Angeles defeat the New York Rangers 4-1 on Monday. 



Panarin, who spent seven seasons with New York, received a standing ovation and video tribute during the first television timeout. “To be honest, I was nervous the whole game,” Panarin said after the game, according to <a href="https://www.nhl.com/news/los-angeles-kings-new-york-rangers-game-recap-march-16-2026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL.com</a>, as he recently <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarin-reminisces-about-ny-rangers-fans-as-he-gears-up-for-return-with-kings">reminisced about Rangers fans while preparing for his return with the Kings</a>.



He also added, “I’m glad guys scored the goals tonight, and then got a good win so it was nice. I was not much thinking about hockey tonight.” The Rangers’ four-game winning streak came to an end, while Kings goalie Darcy Kuemper made 21 saves and Quinton Byfield recorded two assists. 



<h2>Panarin revisits his New York years</h2>



Panarin finished with 607 points (205 goals, 402 assists) in 482 regular-season games for New York, ranking ninth in franchise history. “Emotional, especially warmup,” he said. “Since I stepped on ice, and I saw all those jerseys, I felt good about that. It means a lot for me, I spent almost seven years here.”

The victory improves Los Angeles to 28-24-15, tying the Seattle Kraken for the second wild card in the Western Conference. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York</a> falls to 28-31-8 with the season winding down.

Kings' Artemi Panarin reflects on return vs NY Rangers

Artemi Panarin knows just how special his return to Madison Square Garden will be. As the Los Angeles Kings‘ star takes on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a> in an NHL matchup for the first time since 2019, he dropped an honest message about the fans who sell out the “World’s Most Famous Arena” night in and night out.



“The energy. Obviously, the history. People. Even [when] they boo us after 17 seconds at the start of the game. That’s why I like it,” Panarin answered when asked about the best part of playing in New York, via Mollie Walker of New York Post on X. 



Needless to say, Panarin’s last memories as a Blueshirt on Broadway were far from enjoyable. Mired in a disastrous 2025–26 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season and with rumors of his next club running wild, Panarin was a healthy scratch, causing him to miss out on a farewell game at Madison Square Garden. 



As he returns to The Big Apple on Monday, he gets his chance at closure. Only this time, Panarin will put on his equipment in the away locker room and wear a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Kings</a>‘ jersey. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/ny-rangers-learn-artemi-panarins-true-feelings-ahead-of-return-to-msg-with-la-kings">Rangers learned Panarin’s true feelings ahead of his return to MSG</a>, but will now have to actually take him on.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/12175258/artemi-panarin-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="Artemi Panarin" class="wp-image-597131"><figcaption>Artemi Panarin at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. </figcaption></figure>



<h2>Panarin will go up against Rangers’ Shesterkin</h2>



Fellow Russian and former teammates on the Rangers, Panarin and Igor Shesterkin may know each other’s every secret on the ice. Panarin has hit Shesterkin with his full arsenal in practices, and the netminder has pulled off every stunt he is physically able to trying to stop “The Breadman”. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/ny-rangers-hc-mike-sullivan-explains-controversial-j-t-miller-gabe-perreault-decision"></div>


Panarin and Shesterkin have never faced-off in an NHL game, though. According to reporters at New York’s morning skate, Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice—meaning he will be the starter against the Kings.



<h2>Rangers continue to roll with Shesterkin on net</h2>



It will be a special reunion for the fellow countrymen, and one in which Panarin will be praying on Shesterkin’s downfall for the first time in his career. “I hope he has a bad night tonight. Sorry, Rangers fans,” Panarin said, per The Athletic’s Peter Baugh. 



Shesterkin will be starting his 8th game in New York’s last 10 outings. Facing Panarin and the Kings, however, means Shesterkin will be energized to put on a show at Madison Square Garden, where the Rangers are 9-15-6 on the season.

“I wish it was going to be next year, but I’ve got to deal with that pretty soon,” Artemi Panarin admitted, via NHL.com. “Probably try being more relaxed, but I’m sure I’m going to be nervous and that is going to affect my game. I’ll try to be smarter with that. Obviously, excited to see the fans.”



Artemi Panarin’s comments were issued on the eve of the Los Angeles Kings‘ visit to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a> during the 2025–26 NHL season. “The Breadman” will face his former team for the first time since being traded by the Blueshirts. Making his return to Madison Square Garden—which he had called home since 2019—it’s safe to assume emotions will be running high for the Russian star.



With Panarin under an expiring contract, the Rangers had announced their decision not to re-sign him and were forced to make a deal with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Kings</a>, as Panarin made it clear that “The City of Angels” was the only destination he’d waive his full No Movement Clause (NMC) for.



Panarin will now face the Rangers for the first time since April 5, 2019. That time, Panarin and the Columbus Blue Jackets visited Madison Square Garden and secured a crucial shootout victory. Los Angeles, like Columbus back then, will be entering the “World’s Most Famous Arena” in dire need of a victory to propel its playoff hopes.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/05130748/artemi-panarin-3-1920x1080.webp" alt="Artemi Panarin" class="wp-image-574177"><figcaption>Artemi Panarin will face the NY Rangers at MSG </figcaption></figure>



<h2>Panarin is pleased with Kings so far</h2>



While the Kings have had their fair share of struggles, they remain in the race for a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Thus, Panarin is playing meaningful games in the 2025-26 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season, whereas the Blueshirts are playing mainly for pride right now. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/ny-rangers-hc-mike-sullivan-explains-controversial-j-t-miller-gabe-perreault-decision"></div>


“I think it’s better than what I expected,” Panarin stated about the Kings. “The team is better than what I expected. Looking forward, I’m pretty excited. Hopefully we can make the playoffs.”



<h2>Where Kings and Rangers stand</h2>



The Kings (69 points in 66 games played) have just five more points than the Rangers (64 in 66 GP). However, because of how competitive the East is—and how uneven the West has turned—Los Angeles is well within the playoff bubble. Meanwhile, New York is eyeing the NHL Draft Lottery. 



The Kings are one point away from the last wild card spot, while the Rangers are 16 points behind WC2 in the Eastern Conference. If New York City were located on the other side of the Mississippi River, the story would be very different for the Blueshirts in the 2025–26 season.

NY Rangers learn Panarin's true feelings ahead of return to MSG

Even if Artemi Panarin wanted to stay with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a>, it was clear the Broadway Blueshirts weren’t having it. Now, Panarin is settling into his new life with the Los Angeles Kings, but his latest comments painted a clear picture of the heartbreak behind his recent move during the 2025–26 NHL season.



“They didn’t want me,” Panarin said about the Rangers, via Newsday Sports’ Colin Stephenson on X. New York traded Panarin to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Kings</a> in exchange for prospect Liam Greentree, a conditional third round pick in 2026, and a fourth round pick in 2028.



Panarin could sign with any team back in the 2019-free agent market—and he chose New York. Back then, the Rangers were only just beginning their rebuild. Panarin’s arrival changed everything, though. An organization with no winning expectations in the immediate future suddenly landed one of the best players in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>. 



<h2>Brief recap of Panarin’s career with the Rangers</h2>



In no time, the Rangers won the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery and secured the second overall pick in 2021. Everything was clicking for the Blueshirts—until it wasn’t anymore. The Rangers reached their pinnacle in the 2024 Eastern Conference Final. The elimination at the hands of the Florida Panthers put the writing on the wall, and since then everything has headed downhill. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/05180734/artemi-panarin-4-1920x1080.webp" alt="Artemi Panarin during a game" class="wp-image-574485"><figcaption>Artemi Panarin has been traded to the Los Angeles Kings. </figcaption></figure>



New York shot itself in the foot with controversial decisions like Chris Drury’s leaguewide memorandum and the second “letter” to fans, which made the Rangers’ desire to trade Panarin public. Dealing with a star on an expiring contract, time running short, and a full no-movement clause, the Blueshirts made sure to put themselves in the worst possible position to sit down and negotiate. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/sullivan-highlights-ny-rangers-top-line-with-praise-for-zibanejad-perreault-and-lafreniere"></div>


Leverage was anywhere but on New York’s side. Thus, when the Los Angeles Kings made their offer, the Rangers could do nothing but accept it before the 2026 Winter Olympics froze trades around the NHL. Panarin’s time in Manhattan officially came to an end. However, he is set to return to the Big Apple soon, though only temporarily. 



<h2>Panarin’s homecoming at Madison Square Garden</h2>



On March 16, the Kings will visit the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Fans will give Panarin a standing ovation that will take them down memory lane and send a clear message upstairs to the executive suite, where Drury will be watching the aftermath of his decisions.

Artemi Panarin reiterates NY Rangers were off the table amid talks with LA Kings - Bolavip US

There are no limits as to just how creative NHL teams can get. That is true both on and off the ice. This time around, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles Kings</a> defied all odds as they were involved in a move with the Buffalo Sabres after the trade deadline.



According to a report from Mayor’s Manor, the Kings and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-sabres">Sabres</a> made a swap of players via their AHL affiliates. This is not a trade, as it a temporarily loan. Per the report, forward Kaleb Lawrence has been loaned to the Rochester Americans. In return, the Ontario Reign are welcoming in defenseman Nikita Novikov.



While the two prospects change their AHL addresses, their rights remain in possession of their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> teams. Thus, the Kings and Sabres could engage in such a move as it’s not a trade, with Lawrence remaining in Los Angeles’ system, and Novikov in Buffalo’s.



Both 2003-born players are eligible to play for their new clubs in the Calder Cup Playoffs, provided the Rochester Americans and Ontario Reign clinch playoff berths.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/09154919/artemi-panarin-1920x1080.webp" alt="Artemi Panarin " class="wp-image-594848"><figcaption>Artemi Panarin of the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Kings’ moves in trade deadline</h2>



Ahead of the 2026 NHL trade deadline, the Kings didn’t shy away from engaging in trade talks. While some expected the Kings to take on a more aggressive approach, others believed they balanced it out perfectly. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/sam-carrick-sends-message-of-relief-after-trade-from-ny-rangers-to-sabres"></div>


The Kings shipped Corey Perry (traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning) and Warren Foegele (to the Ottawa Senators) away for draft assets, proving their long-term vision. However, they also brought in reinforcements by trading for Scott Laughton (with the Toronto Maple Leafs) and signing Mathieu Joseph to a one-year deal, after his contract had been terminated by the St. Louis Blues. 



The Kings are currently three points out of the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Their approach to the trade deadline paints a clear picture of the organization’s belief in the team. Los Angeles remains hopeful and may bet on itself, but it is also unwilling to go all in. Instead, it is playing its cards cautiously.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrik-laine">Patrik Laine</a> may be spending his last hours as a member of the Montreal Canadiens. According to a report around the NHL ahead of the trade deadline, a cross-continent organization is now in the lead to acquire the Finnish goalscorer.



It hasn’t been an easy <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season for Laine. The elite goalscorer, who once put up 44 goals in the 2017-18 campaign, has dealt with an injury year-round, which hindered his productivity during a contract year with the Canadiens. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/patrik-laine-reportedly-weighing-his-options-with-canadiens-ahead-of-trade-deadline">Laine has been weighing his options with Montreal</a>, but the writing may have been on the wall for a while now.



Reports suggest the Habs have had enough and are ready to move on. For Montreal, it might be now or never; if Laine is still in town after the March 6th trade deadline, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/montreal-canadiens">Canadiens</a> will likely lose him to unrestricted free agency this summer. Although the league is wary of Laine’s availability, teams are calling Montreal to ask about him with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles Kings</a> reportedly in the mix.



“Trade talk surrounding Canadiens winger Patrik Laine has picked up a little more, and I’m told the Los Angeles Kings are circling back on him,” insider David Pagnotta reported on his X account. “Other teams in the mix, too. We’ll see if Montreal retains 50% of his $8.7M AAV, but expectations remain high that he’ll be moved this week.“



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/01171739/patrik-laine-1920x1080.webp" alt="Patrik Laine" class="wp-image-589334"><figcaption>Patrik Laine at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Laine and his 2025-26 season with the Canadiens</h2>



Entering the final season of his four-year, $34.8 million contract, Laine knew it would take elite production in 2025-26 to earn an extension in The City of Saints. Though Montreal is the world’s most populous freshwater island, there seems to be no water left for Laine’s windmill. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/best-players-in-montreal-canadiens-history"></div>


Laine has appeared in only five games this season and has yet to return to the lineup after undergoing core muscle surgery in late October. Trading Laine away would also free up much-needed cap space ahead of the trade deadline. That may be especially useful, as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/canadiens-reportedly-eye-trade-for-2x-stanley-cup-champion-within-atlantic-division-to-chase-first-title-since-1993">Canadiens reportedly eye a trade for a two-time Stanley Cup champion</a>.



<h2>Kings and Laine could work out well</h2>



For Los Angeles—the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/la-kings-fire-jim-hiller-and-reportedly-make-bold-decision-on-his-replacement">Kings recently fired head coach Jim Hiller</a>—such a gamble might be the only way to salvage its season. If the Habs indeed retain 50% of Laine’s salary, the risk is likely worth the reward. Worst-case scenario, the Kings miss the playoffs and Laine walks in July; that’d be no different than where the Kings currently stand. Thus, they have little left to lose. 



Who knows? Perhaps Laine and Artemi Panarin can catch fire together. Every NHL fan remembers what happened one time the Kings made the playoffs as the bottom seed. History has a way of repeating itself, often when least expected.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Kings</a> have officially parted ways with Jim Hiller, with the organization confirming what Elliott Friedman of Sportsnet reported earlier on Sunday. The team is fifth on the Pacific Division on the Western Conference and that has prompted a change.



Frank Seravalli also reported that DJ Smith will be the interim head coach for the remainder of the season, <a href="https://www.nhl.com/kings/news/la-kings-announce-coaching-update" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">confirmed by the Kings in a statement</a>. In fact, he reported that the Kings don’t have any plans to go into a search in-season. Matt Greene will also go to the bench as an assistant coach. Greene was on the player development coach role prior to this move.



Hiller failed to replicate the success of a team that has looked quite disorganized and undisciplined. Hiller wasn’t able to turn things around and after 59 games, the front office decided that a change was imperative. Now, it’s up to Smith to deliver.



<h2>Hiller had quite the downfall</h2>



Under Jim Hiller’s leadership, the Kings soared to a franchise-record 48 wins and 105 points during his debut full season, a high-water mark the team has struggled to replicate in the years since.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The <a href="https://twitter.com/LAKings?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LAKings</a> have announced the hiring of D.J. Smith as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. <a href="https://t.co/AyM7nFpUMH">pic.twitter.com/AyM7nFpUMH</a>— NHL (@NHL) <a href="https://twitter.com/NHL/status/2028161864866168887?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 1, 2026</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



Now, Smith has been an associate coach under Hiller since 2024, so he knows the locker room and the team. Smith also has quite the head coaching experience as he was the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ottawa-senators" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ottawa Senators</a> head coach for five seasons. That also makes Smith avoid the learning curve that a newbie might face.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/artemi-panarin-makes-sincere-confession-on-facing-mike-sullivan-ny-rangers-after-trade-to-kings"></div>


<h2>There are some concerns on Smith too</h2>



This season is now a coin flip for the Kings. If Smith can deliver, good things can be seen in the horizon. However, that is not a guarantee by any means. Hence, there are some concerns too.



His tenure in Ottawa might have been a long one, but it wasn’t precisely a great period. He had a 131-154-32 record with the Canadian team, and never made the playoffs. Smith was also heavily criticized for lacking a defensive structure, which might not fit well with the Kings, whose identity is built on structure.

While the entire NHL placed its attention on the 2026 Winter Olympics, Artemi Panarin geared up to make a lasting first impression with the Los Angeles Kings. However, he couldn’t embark on his new challenge without bidding farewell to Mike Sullivan and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a> first.



That he did. Panarin has now issued a sincere statement for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-sullivan">Sullivan</a> and the Rangers. Among many things, “The Breadman” voiced a strong confession on his emotions as he is set to return to New York City shortly after transitioning to Los Angeles.



“I’m a little nervous to think about coming back [to New York] in March, but I’m looking forward and can’t wait to see you all,” Panarin admitted in his message for the Rangers, per <a href="https://www.nhl.com/">NHL.com</a> insider Kevin Weekes.



<h2>Panarin returns to NYC to face Rangers</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles Kings</a> will visit the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on March 16th. It will be the fifth game on a five-game road trip for the Kings, which will include a visit to the Columbus Blue Jackets—whom Panarin played before signing with the Blueshirts as an unrestricted free agent. Seven years later, Panarin’s time in Manhattan was up, but he is showing no regrets.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/04050423/mike-sullivan-2-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-573007"><figcaption>Head coach Mike Sullivan of the Rangers arrives for the game.</figcaption></figure>



“Seven years ago I chose New York with my heart and I didn’t choose wrong,” Panarin stated in his text message to Weekes. “New York you will be always be in my heart! Thank you for letting me play for this legendary team at MSG and live in this amazing city.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/mike-sullivan-takes-firm-stand-for-team-usas-ny-rangers-with-clear-message-after-2026-winter-olympics"></div>


<h2>Panarin’s stats</h2>



As the 2025–26 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season resumes, Panarin will return to action for the first time since Jan. 26. Hoping to re-ignite his red-hot form, Panarin had served as a healthy scratch for the Rangers in their final four outings before the Olympic break. Now in a new environment, he hopes to pick up where he left off. 



So far, Panarin has registered 19 goals and 38 assists for a grand total of 57 points in 52 games. Despite his missed games, Panarin still leads the Rangers in points. As he joins the Kings, his 57-point total is also the highest of any player on the squad.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a> know the writing is on the wall for them in the 2025–26 NHL season. The silver lining—if there even is one—is that things can’t actually get much worse. The way things have gone for the Blueshirts, though, not many would dare take that for granted.



With Vincent Trocheck in town, the Rangers know they have a key player who is drawing attention from all across the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>. Still, Trocheck’s contract grants him a right to veto certain moves. Now, reports suggest he used his leverage to turn down interest from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles Kings</a>, who would’ve paired him with Artemi Panarin.



“[The Kings] are going to look at the [face-off] dot, they’re going to see if they can bring somebody in up the middle. They asked about Vincent Trocheck, but [he] didn’t want to go out West, anywhere,” as reported on Oilersnation Everyday podcast.



<h2>Where Trocheck stands</h2>



Although Trocheck is currently busy with Mike Sullivan, J.T. Miller, and Team USA in the 2026 Winter Olympics, one can’t help but believe he’s gotten wind of the buzz around his name back in Manhattan.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/12182237/vincent-trocheck-2-1920x1080.webp" alt="Vincent Trocheck" class="wp-image-579007"><figcaption>Vincent Trocheck at Madison Square Garden in New York City.</figcaption></figure>



Regardless, there isn’t much he can do from Milan. Moreover, there is nothing the Rangers can do until Trocheck returns from Italy, either. Until then, the NHL will be under the Olympic roster freeze, which means the Blueshirts—and the rest of the league, for that matter—can’t move, trade, sign, or call up players.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/ny-rangers-rumors-surprising-team-emerges-as-potential-landing-spot-for-vincent-trocheck"></div>


<h2>No trade list</h2>



Trocheck is playing through the fourth season of his seven-year, $39.38 million contract with the Rangers. Though he doesn’t enjoy full job security, his contract includes a modified no-trade clause (M-NTC) in the form of a 12-team no-trade list. 



As reported, Trocheck is looking to stay in the Eastern Conference. However, the Rangers may prefer to see him headed to the Western Conference, to avoid handing a direct rival such a weapon. Moreover, there are 16 teams in the West, so even if Trocheck wants to remain East-bound, his leverage does not grant him full immunity.

NY Rangers star shuts the door on Artemi Panarin’s Kings with final stance on his future

NY Rangers star shuts the door on Artemi Panarin’s Kings with final stance on his future - Bolavip US

Artemi Panarin has already flipped the page. ‘The Breadman’ is ready for his next chapter in the NHL, after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a> traded him to the Los Angeles Kings. Still, he dropped a bold confession about the Blueshirts. Although it was one in which he didn’t throw Mike Sullivan nor his former teammates under the bus.



Panarin’s introduction to the Kings was very revealing. In more ways than one, it was far more interesting for the Rangers than for the organization in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles</a>. Among many pivotal topics, the Rangers may have discovered a mole after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/ny-rangers-discover-mole-on-mike-sullivans-team-as-artemi-panarin-reveals-teammate-convinced-him-on-trade-to-kings">Panarin confirmed a Rangers teammate convinced him</a> on being traded to the Kings.



On another note, Panarin addressed his exit from the Rangers. The 34-year-old winger admitted what went on behind the scenes. Moreover, he dropped a pointed comment aimed at New York—though not at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-sullivan">Sullivan</a> or his teammates. Instead, Panarin took a shot at general manager Chris Drury and the front office. In his statement, Panarin blamed them and the contract extension they offered him before the 2025-26 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season.



“I don’t know if I should say this, but I feel like their offer said, ‘We’re not sure if we want you or not.’ That’s why I’m not signed [in New York],” Panarin admitted, via Vince Mercogliano of The Athletic, blaming New York’s organization for his dramatic departure.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/28113548/mike-sullivan-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="Mike Sullivan" class="wp-image-552742"></figure></div><figcaption>Mike Sullivan at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. </figcaption></figure>



<h2>Shots fired between Rangers and Panarin</h2>



The timing of Panarin’s statement couldn’t have been any better. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/ny-rangers-gm-drops-bold-claim-about-artemi-panarin-hours-after-trade-to-kings">Rangers GM Drury had dropped a bold claim about Panarin</a> just hours after the trade. Just like Panarin did—during his teleconference—Drury sent out mixed signals during his press conference in The Big Apple, too. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/mike-sullivan-ny-rangers-receive-encouraging-message-from-sharks-macklin-celebrini-on-new-signing" image="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/06111314/mike-sullivan-200x200.webp" excerpt="Mike Sullivan and the New York Rangers may have found a silver lining after Macklin Celebrini dropped an honest comment on former San Jose Sharks defenseman Vincent Iorio.

Despite praising Panarin for his time with the Broadway Blueshirts, Drury also made some blunt remarks that made noise. For example, the GM <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/ny-rangers-make-something-clear-to-mike-sullivan-and-fans-with-subtle-dig-at-artemi-panarin-after-kings-trade">made something clear to Sullivan and Rangers fans with a slight dig at Panarin</a>. In that regard, Drury suggested the trade is a big step toward retooling the roster.



<h2>Over, at last</h2>



All in all, it seems Panarin, Drury, and the Rangers had a lot to tell one another. However, both opted to wait until it was all said and done to go at each other’s throats. That goes to show exactly why the story between Panarin and New York had its ending already written in stone. 



Regardless of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/ny-rangers-mike-sullivan-breaks-silence-after-artemi-panarin-trade-with-honest-comment-on-their-relationship">Sullivan’s honest comments about Panarin and their relationship</a>, for which he had nothing but nice words. The saga went beyond Sullivan’s reach, as he has only just arrived in Broadway, and was caught in the crossfire. At the end of the day, Panarin and the Rangers’ story was doomed from the get-go in the 2025-26 season.

Panarin fires shot at NY Rangers, leaving Sullivan, teammates out

Artemi Panarin’s introduction as a member of the Los Angeles Kings didn’t disappoint. Following his dramatic exit from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a> in the 2025-26 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season, Panarin dropped a shocking admission, that Mike Sullivan and company may have to look deep into.



When it came to Panarin’s next destination in the NHL, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-sullivan">Sullivan</a> and the Rangers were completely in the dark. That was until hours before the Olympic roster freeze deadline. Only then, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarin-reportedly-made-one-thing-clear-to-ny-rangers-before-la-kings-trade">Panarin made one thing clear to the Rangers</a>, and that was that he would only waive his no movement clause for a trade to the Kings. 



With no leverage whatsoever, their hands tied, and a ticking clock, GM Chris Drury and the Rangers were left with no choice but to send Panarin to Los Angeles—and accept whatever the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings" rel="sponsored nofollow">Kings</a> gave up in return. Needless to say, it was far from a king’s ransom. 



<h2>Why Los Angeles?</h2>



Many fans in New York will say Panarin was traded for peanuts. Regardless, many others still couldn’t wrap their heads around the why. After so much talk surrounding Florida-based organizations or clear-cut Stanley Cup contenders like the Colorado Avalanche, why did Panarin decide he would only play for the Kings? The move made even less sense after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarins-contract-details-with-la-kings-revealed-as-ny-rangers-reportedly-accept-sacrifice-in-trade">Panarin’s Kings contract details were revealed</a>. It didn’t take a genius to assume he could’ve signed for more with another organization.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/05130748/artemi-panarin-3-1920x1080.webp" alt="Artemi Panarin" class="wp-image-574177"></figure></div><figcaption>Artemi Panarin at the 2023 NHL All-Star Game</figcaption></figure>



Los Angeles boasts a strong lineup, no doubt. But the Kings are currently on the outside looking in at the playoffs, and the active lineup features just one fellow Russian, Andrei Kuzmenko. Well, that question has now been answered, as Panarin confessed who was behind him buying into the Kings—and it was someone within the Rangers’ organization who knows L.A. like the back of his hand: Vladislav Gavrikov.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/ny-rangers-make-something-clear-to-mike-sullivan-and-fans-with-subtle-dig-at-artemi-panarin-after-kings-trade" image="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/05120332/artemi-panarin-2-1-200x200.webp" excerpt="Artemi Panarin was a focal talking point as New York Rangers general manager Chris Drury addressed the media with a blunt reminder for Mike Sullivan and the rest of the team.
" title="NY Rangers make something clear to Mike Sullivan and fans, with subtle dig at Artemi Panarin after Kings trade" publication_id="BUS#/nhl/ny-rangers-make-something-clear-to-mike-sullivan-and-fans-with-subtle-dig-at-artemi-panarin-after-kings-trade"></div>


“[Panarin] didn’t deny that there were higher offers but said money wasn’t the most important thing for him,” The Athletic’s Vince Mercogliano reported. “He wanted the security of the extension, but it was also about “the feeling” he had about the team. Said he talked to Vladislav Gavrikov a lot about the Kings and that helped sell him.“



<h2>Troubling news for Rangers</h2>



The Rangers may react angrily to the information provided by Panarin. At the end of the day, a player like Gavrikov was brought on board to help the team on the ice and build a winning culture in the locker room—not serve as a PR assistant for other teams. 



However, whether it was Gavrikov pumping the tires on Los Angeles or any other factor, Panarin would’ve made a decision either way. Whether he chose the Kings or another team, that side would’ve offered New York a similar deal, as the Blueshirts were essentially forced to work something out before the deadline.

If the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a> thought trading Artemi Panarin would stop the incessant barrage of questions regarding “the Breadman,” then they are in for a rude awakening. Still, general manager Chris Drury stood at the podium after the trade went through, delivering a bold message about the newest member of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles Kings</a>.



The two sides must flip the page. Panarin is the latest addition to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarin-exits-ny-rangers-projected-lines-for-la-kings-after-blockbuster-trade">Kings’ projected lines for the 2025-26 NHL campaign</a>. Meanwhile, the Rangers face glaring holes all across the lineup. Still, Panarin’s exit from New York doesn’t change how the Rangers feel about him and his time as a Blueshirt. That was confirmed during Drury’s media availability, in which there was a predominant topic.



“Artemi’s an incredible player, arguably the best free agent signing in the 100-year history of the franchise,” Drury boldly commented, via Mollie Walker of the New York Post. “He deserves a chance to win and we wanted to give him that chance as we retool the team. It’s never easy to move a player of Artemi’s caliber.”



<h2>Candid debate around the trade</h2>



After listening to Drury’s high praise for Panarin, the fact he was shopped for a conditional third-round pick and prospect Liam Greentree doesn’t sit right with the fanbase in the Big Apple.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/05144914/chris-drury-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-574315"></figure></div><figcaption>Chris Drury GM of the NY Rangers</figcaption></figure>



To an extent, even Drury may be displeased with the overall trade. However, considering the Rangers had their hands tied in more ways than one, they couldn’t seek much more—or better—assets, either.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/ny-rangers-make-something-clear-to-mike-sullivan-and-fans-with-subtle-dig-at-artemi-panarin-after-kings-trade" image="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/05120332/artemi-panarin-2-1-200x200.webp" excerpt="Artemi Panarin was a focal talking point as New York Rangers general manager Chris Drury addressed the media with a blunt reminder for Mike Sullivan and the rest of the team.
" title="NY Rangers make something clear to Mike Sullivan and fans, with subtle dig at Artemi Panarin after Kings trade" publication_id="BUS#/nhl/ny-rangers-make-something-clear-to-mike-sullivan-and-fans-with-subtle-dig-at-artemi-panarin-after-kings-trade"></div>


The glass-half-full perspective makes New York grateful that it was even able to trade Panarin before the Olympic roster freeze. Had they missed the deadline, the Rangers would’ve been stuck with Panarin—perhaps until the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> trade deadline—risking being left to watch him walk away as an unrestricted free agent (UFA) in the summer. Moreover, the Blueshirts would have had even less leverage in March than they did in February, which is saying a lot.



<h2>Silver lining for the NY Rangers</h2>



There were far worse paths to go down—including a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarin-rumors-ny-rangers-warned-about-worst-case-scenario-brewing">reported worst-case scenario brewing for the Rangers</a>—than shipping Panarin to the Kings in return of a third-round (potentially second) selection and a former first-round talent like Greentree.



Still, the trade will continue to sting in New York City. Perhaps it’s not the move itself that burns, but the feeling of emptiness that one of the best free-agent signings in Rangers history saw his chapter come to an abrupt close, with no Cups to show for it.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6984f3ba70a943df4bc92a84" data-title="Do you agree with Drury in that Panarin is the best free agency pickup in franchise history?" data-options="2"></div>

Finally, Artemi Panarin’s drama has been put to rest. However, that doesn’t mean the waters have even remotely calmed down for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a>. If anything, moving on from Panarin was only the first hurdle—a pivotal one, obviously—but the first nonetheless. Now, the work may only just be beginning for Chris Drury, Mike Sullivan, and the Blueshirts going forward in the NHL.



The writing was on the wall for Panarin’s time in Manhattan. However, his next destination was still up in the air. According to reports, it remained that way until just hours before the NHL’s Olympic roster freeze, when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarin-reportedly-made-one-thing-clear-to-ny-rangers-before-la-kings-trade">Panarin made one thing clear to New York</a> and its front office, admitting where he wanted to play. 



Drury and the Rangers respected his wish, and that was that: “The Breadman” became the newest King in the league. After <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarin-exits-ny-rangers-projected-lines-for-la-kings-after-blockbuster-trade">Panarin exited the Rangers, the Los Angeles Kings’ projected lines</a> received a massive boost. Despite the highs-and-lows, it seemed there was no bad blood between Panarin and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-sullivan">Sullivan</a>‘s Rangers. However, Drury dropped a comment during a press conference that may paint a different picture.



<h2>Drury’s message hides shot at Panarin</h2>



“Our fans deserve a Stanley Cup, not a team just hoping to get in as the last wild card,” Drury admitted, via The New York Post. “So we felt it was best to start this organizational shift sooner than later.“



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/05123200/chris-drury-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-574130"></figure></div><figcaption>Chris Drury GM of the NY Rangers</figcaption></figure>



The Rangers’ general manager didn’t mince words during his media availability. Obviously, as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarins-contract-details-with-la-kings-revealed-as-ny-rangers-reportedly-accept-sacrifice-in-trade">Panarin’s move and contract details with the Kings were revealed</a>, the biggest trade of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season was the talk of the town in the Big Apple. Needless to say, there was no escaping the barrage of questions for Drury.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/mike-sullivan-ny-rangers-receive-encouraging-message-from-sharks-macklin-celebrini-on-new-signing" image="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/06111314/mike-sullivan-200x200.webp" excerpt="Mike Sullivan and the New York Rangers may have found a silver lining after Macklin Celebrini dropped an honest comment on former San Jose Sharks defenseman Vincent Iorio.

With his statement, the GM managed to wield a double-edged sword—one side pointing at Sullivan, whose job is to put the struggling Rangers back on their feet, and the other aimed at Panarin, whose departure for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles</a> signals the end of an era in New York.



<h2>New York wants the Cup</h2>



The Rangers have divisional conquests and a Presidents’ Trophy to show for it. For some organizations, that’s more than enough. However, Drury made it clear that New York aspires to hoist Stanley Cups, and that an Eastern Conference Final run in 2024 is far from the end goal. 



“That will be the guiding principle of every decision we make as an organization,” Drury stated. “How does this help us return to a Stanley Cup contender? We are going to work tirelessly at this every day to continue to improve and push towards that goal.”



Although the Blueshirts have admitted it’s time to embrace a retool—not to be mistaken for a rebuild, though the latter feels imminent as rough outings continue to pile up—Drury has set the franchise’s sights on Lord Stanley. Whether that is a realistic goal, that is another question. Despite the alarms going off and smoke coming out of the building, Drury is still painting a rosy picture.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6984d4c470a943df4bc92a77" data-title="Considering the spot New York was put on, how would you grade the Artemi Panarin trade?" data-options="5"></div>

NY Rangers make something clear to Sullivan, fans with subtle dig at Panarin after trade

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-kings">Los Angeles Kings</a> have secured one of the biggest acquisitions of the season, landing Artemi Panarin from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers">New York Rangers</a> in a blockbuster move. The deal not only sends a superstar winger to LA but also comes with immediate clarity on his future with the franchise.



According to Elliotte Friedman, Panarin has agreed to a two‑year extension worth $11 million AAV, ensuring he remains a central piece of the Kings’ lineup beyond this season. The commitment underscores LA’s aggressive push to strengthen its offensive core as it aims for a deep playoff run, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarin-exits-ny-rangers-projected-lines-for-la-kings-after-blockbuster-trade">Panarin improving the Kings’ forward lines</a>.



NHL insider Chris Johnston reported that the Rangers are retaining 50% of Panarin’s salary as part of the trade to the Kings, a significant financial sacrifice that underscores New York’s willingness to absorb short‑term cost to complete the deal.



<h2>Panarin’s contract conditions</h2>



Johnston also detailed the conditions attached to the draft pick included in the deal:



<ul><li>If the Kings win one playoff round this year, the pick becomes a second‑rounder.</li><li>If the Kings win two playoff rounds, New York also receives a 2028 fourth‑round pick.</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/04154748/panarin-artemi-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-573498"></figure></div><figcaption>Artemi Panarin #10 with the Rangers scores a goal. Kenneth Richmond/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



These conditions give the Rangers potential upside depending on LA’s postseason performance, while the Kings gain a top‑tier offensive weapon for their playoff push. This match seemed written in the stars, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/artemi-panarin-reportedly-made-one-thing-clear-to-ny-rangers-before-la-kings-trade">Panarin reportedly making it clear to the Rangers</a> that he only wanted to be traded to LA.
