On July 1st, 2019, the New York Rangers arguably made their greatest signing in franchise history where the team signed superstar Artemi Panarin to a seven-year contract. Since then, Panarin has been more than what the Rangers have hoped for already being ninth in the teams 100 year history in points and first all time in his points per sixty.
Throughout this time the Rangers have been to the playoffs in three straight seasons, being eliminated in two Eastern Conference Finals, now in 2026 it seems as if Panarin's tenure with the Blueshirts is coming to an end.
