The biggest free agent on the market, without question, is 27-year-old Artemi Panarin. According to Pierre LeBrun, of TSN, it is believed to be down to three teams and the New York Islanders are one of those teams.
LeBrun believes it will be between the Florida Panther, New York Rangers, and the Islanders to land Panarin. Florida has been a rumor for a while, being able to take on both Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky.
While the Rangers wouldn’t be able to take Bobrovsky as well, they have been mentioned in the Panarin sweepstakes for a very long time.
