When Artemi Panarin signed a massive seven-year, $81.5 million contract with the New York Rangers this off-season, the fan base and organization were elated to score one of the most coveted free agents on the market. But some believed that the Rangers organization overspent on the 28-year-old left winger who was coming off of an 87 point season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, recording 28 goals and 59 assists. So far this season, and with the utmost admiration from Rangers fans, Panarin has earned every penny of his big-time contract, averaging a point per game in his first twelve games leading all fellow Blueshirts.
