Anyone see that Carp is reporting that Panarin and Shesty were "livid" over Buch trade?
The Rangers organization bent over backwards for Panarin after the hit piece. He should keep that in mind. He's an employee. He doesn't have a management position. He kind of can't go to the KHL because he's persona non grata in Russia.
These guys aren't going to sit out their multi million dollar contracts because their friend is gone. No one in Tampa would do that because it's in the culture. Lou Lamariello would boot these guys to the ECHL.
If they sulk in camp, Gallant isn't going to have it.
If they really are that soft and threaten to not play, sit out, breach of contract. Then there's a bigger issue with the organization as a whole.
Igor is awesome, I've loved him since the day he was drafted, but he hasn't proven to be a full time veteran starter yet.
I had a coworker leave and we were very close, like flirtatious close, etc. so a little different with a lady and dude rather than three dudes here. I was bummed for a few days and definitely had a "silent pouting" period and someone even said he thought I would quit, but it's a job, you get over it. No one gave a crap how I felt. People leave all the time.
