Bet he takes less as well

 

[Mass]

Something must be done about this unfair competitive advantage!

 

[Nucks N Canes]

Guess my rangers 3rd in the metro prediction looks good right now

Doubt they make the playoffs, still a bad D.

 

[trick9]

Slap in the face for the Islanders.

 

[Waivers]

Not to be rude, but if he wasn't going to sign in Columbus, why would he sign on the Islanders if the Rangers are interested? That's like asking the Dominicans when they play in the MLB who do you want to play for, the Yankees or the Mets.

 

[LeHab]

10M x 7?

 

[A Loyal Dog]

WTF is my post about IB being the 1st to break the news deleted? He DID break the news and IS a reliable source in the tristate area.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Kaapo Kakko factor?

New York Rangers factor. When are people going to learn, the Rangers always get who they want if they have the space

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Left money on the table to play on Broadway. Love this.

 

[Cotton]

Word is he left alot of money on the table.

 

[Foppberg]

f*** the Rangers.

 

[holy]

Lamoriello is in a giant freezer wearing a wife beater right now and punching a giant slab of meat to get that frustration out.

 

[Jussi]

Kakko has converted him. Praise Kaapo!

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Yikes. Islanders were the backup date.

 

[Shak19]

Islanders were just a pawn to up his $$$, but apparently Panarin took less for NYR

 

[Thordic]

Kaapo Kakko factor?

Kravstov / Shestyorkin / Buchnevich / Rykov factor. NYR stocking up on Russians lately.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Signs with the NY.... **Next tweet 10 minutes later**

Rangers!

Hahahahaha I just literally laughed out loud. Well done.

 

[nucks88]

Glad it wasn’t the Panthers...

 

[TheDoldrums]

Can't believe he chose Madison Square Garden over...uh, arena TBD

 

[BusQuets]

Shortest/fastest rebuild ever?

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Is this payback for Durant going to the Nets over the Knicks?

 

[fingerpainter]

Also with NY taxes - he left A LOT of money on the table over Florida.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Ugh, what an awful landing spot. I wanted to see him thrive in Florida - that would've been an incredible line. But hey, if NYR wanna overpay him over the next 8 years, that's cool too.

*7 years. We'll see if he's overpayed.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Ahhhh yes, NYR where stars fade away
