Panarin Thread II (wins Calder)

[EbonyRaptor]

Panarin thread was closed, so here's the new one.

I wanted to quote this from the last thread:

Bowman and his scouts followed Panarin closely throughout last season and began pitching him and Lynn about playing for the Blackhawks. Barry Smith, the Blackhawks' director of player development, also happened to be a former head coach of SKA St. Petersburg from 2007-10. He still had connections there and helped sell the Blackhawks to Panarin

And ask - who is "Lynn" that was being pitched by the Hawks?

[Ace Rothstein]

Tom Lynn, Panarin's agent.

Tom Lynn, Panarin's agent.

Ah - thanks.

He had a great stretch in the 2nd period last night. Displayed great puck possession skills that led to a great Kane feed (and an even better save), had a break away, and a perfect feed to Daley that he couldn't handle. I love watching 72 play.

 

[Bubba88]

He is good, I like him more and more. His skills are fun to watch

Tarasenko and his wife are fighting the cake, evil Panarin set on them.

Btw this cake worthed $10k.

Wait, panarin bought the cake?

I hope we can afford to keep Panarin in the future.

No kidding. It's nice having a core with Keith, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson, Toews, Kane, Hossa, and Crow...but at some point in time, you need to be able to retain other players who can eventually replace these guys. Unfortunately, I see this team falling apart at the seams at some point. Some of these contracts are going to be Bickell-like hard to move later on.

Desperately hoping that Bowman can find a way to lock this kid up before the end of the year but I doubt his agent is going to say yes to that.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Wait, panarin bought the cake?

Yeah, it was his present to Tarasenko on the wedding.

 

[madgoat33]

Geez, my bday is in 2 weeks, think i can get him to buy my cake?

Well he'll be an RFA at the end of his deal right?

 

[Paul Allen]

Yes.

That's why you don't resign Seabrook. One he's likely in decline and two it gives you another year to evaluate your players, decide who to hang onto, and go from there.

I'd much rather lock Panarin up long term than an aging, slow defenseman like Seabs. It's a piss poor way to remain competitive AND manage the cap.

I hate agreeing with you on seabrook since you're so hyperbolic about it, but yea, if there's a contract the hawks are going to regret(besides bickell, but that nightmare is almost over) I'm almost positive it will be the seabrook one.

 

[chicagoskycam]

RFA used to make me feel good about getting a guy back, not so much anymore.

 

[Bubba88]

We'd get a premium for him in return. I don't worry much.
We'll fit him under the Cap

A player can't sign an extension until he's in the last year of his current contract - and since Panarin has another year after this one, Stan can't re-sign him until after July 1, 2016.

For some reason I was under the impression that Panarin was here on a one year deal. My mistake.

 

[geoo9]

Hawks lucky to sign him. He ll show himself perfectly at PO. Smiling appearance does not match the character. This guy is stubborn as rhino, he is not afraid of anyone or anything and have the mentality of a killer

 

[Taze em]

Panarin has 8 points in 7 game and yet I feel like he has been alone with a goaltender 9-10 times this season and scored once.

Point is I don't even think his start statistically is out of line.

 

[Atas2000]

Wait, panarin bought the cake?

Not exactly. They auctioned the cake at the wedding among the guests and Panarin won the auction. Hey, the guy is a winner.

 

[Blackhawks]

I love this kid, he is going to be a consistant 80 point scorer ina couple years, I hope Stan can manage to sign him and not just let him go like Saad, guys like these are not easy to obtain. We need guys after Kane and Toews, TT and Breadman should be the two especially with Hossa getting up there in age.

I agree, he is not afraid to cut into the heavy traffic areas of the ice.
