In just a little over 48 hours, we will know where Artemi Panarin is going to sign. While things could go pretty quiet before Monday, I expect the rumor mill to actually ratchet up.
I call it the funnel effect. Picture pouring water into a funnel. As the water is poured the funnel fills and starts to drain. You can see the water swirling slowly. However, when the water gets closer to the end, the vortex spins faster until it’s done. That’s what I expect these next few days to look like on Panarin Watch.
This is the last update I dropped on Twitter:
The timeline of events is important because it shows that the Rangers were a destination that was rumored to be where Panarin wanted to go from the start.
