Since I gave you all the positives, I should be fair and offer the negative for Panarin. Even after four years, his whole world is in Russian. He doesn't read English language coverage, he barely speaks it, and most importantly, he doesn't listen to English unless directly spoken to. So in those pivotal locker room meetings, the guy is not paying attention. He gave a very long full length Russian language interview a couple months ago and he said he doesn't listen to his teammates because "it's too boring". That was a big problem for the Jackets this year.

Great highlights but it was actually a waste of Artemi's talent to play with Kane. Both of those guys should be primary puck carriers. With Kane, it was Panarin's job to either shoot or give the puck right back to Kane, and the most dynamic parts of his game were left unused. The world just thought he was a great shooter with some good dangles. He's a lot more than that.

I wonder if he'll grow out of it. Seems like an immature approach. Then again he's already 28 (almost).

hey hanrahan!
Just go to Dr. Wong's Acupuncture and Off-label jersey shop.
No one past 10 feet will tell the difference.
Someone please let me know as soon as the NHL shop or WeBleedBlue releases the #10 Panarin shirsey, I would be deeply grateful and will be first to order. Thank you!

Do you think the organization will encourage him to learn English? I imagine it would be practical for him living in NYC and with his girlfriend pursuing modeling.
Living in NYC he needs to learn it less than he does in Columbus.

Not so much in Manhattan, but in parts of Brooklyn there are more Russians than Americans.

I'm just thinking in NY he's going to be exposed to more social circles.
Vally is not getting a Christmas card this year from Panarin, or Lundqvist, or Mika, or..
Do you think someone like Kravtsov would be a good linemate? More of a passer but would be able to finish Panarin's passes. Or is he too much of a shooter? Not sure if you could answer that or how much you know about Kravtsov, haha.

Yeah? Please point out to me where my or my peeps show any condescension. Then please evidence me of how any person whose view disagrees with yours shows any evidence of being a know it all. Or does that just happen when one does not agree with your view?
Voicing at displeasure that some do not share your rosy outlook? So instead of debating people on their views, you choose to step on a soapbox and scream to the masses, never once addressing any actual point?
NO ONE said that the Rangers have no chance. That is a narrative you invented. What people did do is point out the reasons they do not agree. Apparently, you do not seem capable of handling a debate of opposing thoughts without flying into a hissy fit. Which shows that you have no interest healthy debate, just preaching as to why everyone else is wrong.
You have NO idea of where Gorton and JD are in their plan. Nor do I. But at least I can voice my reasoning without resorting to fits with those that disagree. Why is your view of what Gorton and JD are doing so much more correct that everyone else's? You scream about playoffs this year. Maybe. But your argument is rooted solely in the belief that Kakko and Kravstov will be better than Hayes and Zucc last year, the rest of the rookies immediately performing like seasoned NHL players and that last year's rookies will take huge steps forward. There is no room in your thinking of what happens if any of those things do not occur. Accordingly, anyone that does not agree with you is instantly labeled and needs to be shouted down.
Going to presume that you cannot actually find ANY post that says that they do no want the Rangers to have success and make the playoffs. Which then makes statements like this, simple fabrication which allows you to have your fake righteous rage at those who dare to disagree.
Show me ANY post that puts you or your viewpoint down. Or is the idea that if someone does not agree with your view automatically putting you down?
That is great. But it is more than a realistic plausibility . One that you can either debate or stand on a soapbox and scream at without any effort at debate.

..which is quite weird for a seemingly liberal guy like him. I highly doubt hes going back to Russia when his career has come to an end. So why not invest time and effort into learning the language :/
GL with him rangers, I think your management has paid a couple of millions too much.
Will miss the breadman in CBJ uniform :/
Panarin speaking English!
As Vali said. This team is to Euro. Though, I don't think Andersson and Kakko play Euro. Playoff time, it most likely will be a problem. Thus, why I think eventually they keep Kreider and move Buchnevich in a package deal for a hard nosed, winger with some offense. JD already talked about getting tougher.
Yes it's not like he's some Russian traditionalist. He spoke out against the Russian internet law, and also talked about becoming more accepting of gays. He's open to the world and a smart guy. And then there's the English situation... Hard to explain.
