John Davidson gave some insights last night during his interview on MSG 150 At Home on Artemi Panarin. When the team president was asked about the Rangers leading scorer he had nothing but glowing remarks. The most interesting tidbit was how hard he tried to keep him in Columbus last season and how Panarin was set in going to a major city.
Panarin’s Big City Desire
“In Columbus when we made the trade for the Breadman we knew what we were getting,” JD began to explain. According to Davidson, Chicago was looking for term when they dealt Panarin for Brandon Saad who had four years remaining on his deal versus Panarin’s two.
