Let’s start off this article stating that the only way the Rangers will probably consider Joe Pavelski is if Artemi Panarin does not sign with them. This whole article will be under that assumption so please do not comment saying “but we’ll be singing Panarin it doesn’t matter!”
That being said, they still shouldn’t sign him. His age, his slow decline of points over the years and the surplus at center are just a few reasons the Rangers should stay far away from this UFA.
The obvious reasons not to sign Joe Pavelski is his age. Now age hasn’t stopped the Rangers from signing anyone…when they were competing for the Cup.
