Artemi Panarin is a New York Ranger. Celebrate. Scream. Cry with happy! Hug a stranger! Maybe ... actually ... don’t do that.
It’s early July, and the Rangers feel like the winners of the summer, and not just because they landed the biggest fish in the pond; they’ve done a lot of work the past few months shoring up a lot of the team’s needs on both sides of the puck. They’ve got work to do before becoming true Stanley Cup Contenders, but some of that work is simply letting the ingredients they already have in the pot marinate a little.
