Artemi Panarin’s electric style of play will give the Columbus Blue Jackets as dynamic of a player as they’ve ever had. Likely to play on the first line, Panarin immediately became the most skilled player on the Blue Jackets roster.
Along with Alexander Wennberg, and whoever claims the RW spot (probably Nick Foligno), the potential is as high for this line as the most elite ones in the NHL. It may not happen right away, but these three are sure to click at some point during the season.
The 25-year old Russian has scored 151 points in 162 NHL games thus far.
