The Breadman is in New York City and the dough has risen to the spotlight, figuratively and literally, with the star winger signing a 7 year 81.5 million dollar contract with the Rangers.
Many sighed at the idea of shelling out huge sums for a superstar, citing the Blueshirts history with bad contracts in the past. But, no disrespect to any of those players, Artemi Panarin is an elite talent hitting his stride.
In the prime of his career, the Rangers have landed a speedy, uber-talented, sneaky, elusive, scorer and play-maker. He is a player at a level that the Rangers have not seen since Jaromir Jagr or maybe even further back.
