FWIW......I'm fine with whatever Jarmo decides to do. If this team is flying high and they keep him only to watch him walk to New York on July 1, that's fine. If they trade him for Triple P (Player - Pick-Prospect), then I'm fine too. I'm not going to quit watching. I know this goes into another thread, but if Bob decides he wont accept a trade, no way, no how and plays till they quit playing, I'm fine with that. I'll only be pissed if they go out in Round 1 again (regardless of his performance) and he then signs a Carey Price like contract.
My feeling is that Jarmo is going to try to sign both up until midnight 6-30. Panarin - he could back up the truck for him. He's 26. If Bob wants 7 or 8 million for 5 years fine. Otherwise, we thank you for your work and wish you well as you go on your way. If this club makes a deep run, Panarin might reconsider. He sure looks like he is having fun
