Personally, I’d be willing to take that bet. He’s a franchise LW that is actually underrated defensively as a takeaway machine, and he is a RHS that would perfectly compliment Tarasenko. I think a year with this contender - maybe even favorite if we get him? - would make us a strong suitor for his services, and would allow us the eighth year.Not trading assets for players with no term. That’s a franchise crippler
What makes you think that? His agent made it sound like he didn't want to be in Columbus, wanted a more interesting city.I'd love to add Panarin, but I expect that Columbus will extend him in the coming days.
He wrote on his twitter that he is meeting with Jarmo tomorrow to discuss a new contract. I would be surprised if he was writing that without going there looking to get a deal done.What makes you think that?

i can't read Russian, but his English comments I saw just said that he and agent were meeting with Jarmo. Didn't mention anything about contract. My guess is they will reiterate to Jarmo he won't resign.He wrote on his twitter that he is meeting with Jarmo tomorrow to discuss a new contract.

Could also have been an attempt to pry more money out of CBJ management.What makes you think that? His agent made it sound like he didn't want to be in Columbus, wanted a more interesting city.
The Russian says the same but finishes with "po povodu sleduyushhego kontrakta", about the next contract.i can't read Russian, but his English comments I saw just said that he and agent were meeting with Jarmo.

Interesting. Thanks for clarifying. Hope he resigns there.The Russian says the same but finishes with "po povodu sleduyushhego kontrakta", about the next contract.
Why would you think we'd be a preferred destination? He has big city dreams of Miami or NYC or... St. Louis?He's still under contract. We might be a preferred destination next year, but we may not want him next year, depending on how our chemistry works out.
I thought I already read somewhere he didn't want to be traded to the Blues, and not to trade for him because he wasn't going to re-sign here.Why would you think we'd be a preferred destination? He has big city dreams of Miami or NYC or... St. Louis?

I really don't know why I took that as fact and not speculation. Must have been posted by someone I trust for facts & honesty whether it be good or bad for the team. I keep thinking it was Blue Dream that posted something about this, but I'm not sure where I saw it and didn't respond to the post so don't know where to search.I doubt that. So many know-it-alls love to speculate and spread these type of rumors. Most of them turn out to be false.
Yeah, and the link to capfriendly covers that, as does the details of my post.There's this little thing called a salary cap. Panarin is more unlikely now than he was before the draft
Yes, but I believe that was under the false rumors that he was looking for big city life. Panarin and his agent both denied this, and if re-signing in CBJ has any possibility as our local trusty Scotsman Russian alluded to, then I would think that there would be more hope than none for STL if negotiations fell through.JR wrote an article in the Athletic if I recall
