The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to turn the corner on their rebuild — or at least they’re trying to. Elliotte Friedman speculated that the Flyers might be interested in New York Rangers winger Artemi Panarin on the most recent episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast . We wrote on that report earlier on Friday, with a look at how it might benefit the Flyers. Sure, bringing in a Russian winger to help Matvei Michkov and take this team to the next level might make sense right now, but ...
The Philadelphia Flyers are looking to get better in the now and in the long-term, so of course the NHL trade deadline is one way to do it. Well, in the latest trade rumors, the team has been connected to one of the most highly sought after rental forward in quite some time. With the trade deadline quickly approaching, Sportnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Friday’s episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast that the Flyers could be a potential landing spot for New York Rangers’ own 34-year-ol...
From World Juniors standouts to rising NCAA talent, this Draft Radar breaks down the prospects who could shape the Rangers’ future.
Trocheck is too valuable to keep, Lafrenière might be broken (or fixable), and Braden Schneider could be the kind of trade chip GMs convince themselves they can save.
The Islanders swept, the Rangers sleepwalked, and everyone’s mind is already on the impeding Panarin trade.
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The New York Rangers ’ sell-off chatter has (somehow) moved past just Artemi Panarin. Frank Seravalli ’s recent take is that Vincent Trocheck might actually be the more valuable deadline piece. His logic is that Panarin is the bigger star, but he’s a pure rental with a full no-move clause and a massive cap number, which narrows the market fast. Trocheck is a playoff-style center, signed for multiple seasons at a far easier hit, and that kind of cost certainty can make GMs do reckle...
The New York Islanders completed their latest season sweep of the crosstown Rangers with a sleepy 2-1 win at Madison Square Garden. The win also represented a sweep of their home-and-home over the last 24 hours, and banked some important points in the run-up to the Olympic break. As has often been the case this […]
Carson Soucy scoring at MSG, Islanders chants ringing out, and just enough fight to make the loss sting a little more.

Artemi Panarin is being held out of the New York Rangers ' lineup until at least the Olympic break. The team doesn't want anything happening to their coveted trade asset as he is going to be traded one way or another before the deadline. There have been plenty of teams linked to Panarin over the past while, and one of them is most likely going to land him barring a team coming in out of nowhere. Colorado Avalanche The Colorado Avalanche are the top team in the league, but with the kind of seas...
The Winnipeg Jets began their road trip with a win in New Jersey, but the competition will get more difficult in the second stop when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning. The True North victory didn’t result in our club gaining any ground in the wildcard race, as the San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, & Seattle Kraken all won on Tuesday too. Therefore the Jets were in the 4th worst slot in the NHL team points percentage until the New York Rangers dropped another contest last night, leaving Win...
A rivalry that used to mean everything now feels like Spencer Martin vs. David Rittich, Panarin sadness, and a whole lot of existential dread.
This week’s Ombudsman Report cleans up the record, relitigates NHL trade disasters, and asks the uncomfortable question: will the Rangers actually get this one right?
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Artemi Panarin's days as a New York Ranger are coming to an end, and there's a very good possibility his next stop with be on the west coast. Rangers GM Chris Drury has been working the phones for weeks, trying to facilitate a move that Panarin would approve, and now it sounds like both sides are working together after Panarin was scratched in the Rangers game Wednesday. A game the Rangers lost 5-2 against the New York Islanders. Panarin has reportedly been told if he doesn't approve a trade o...
The Islanders met a moribund rival and soundly defeated the Rangers, who logged their fewest shots ever in the history of this derby rivalry. That team over there looked to be sleepwalking, outside of a few dangerous chances that the Isles maddeningly conceded. Maybe it was a bit of numbed shock in reaction to Artemi […]

It was a fun one to start the home-and-home as the New York Islanders beat the New York Rangers 5-2 in a game they dominated from the start. While the Islanders added two players in Palat and Soucy leading up to this Olympic break trade freeze, the Rangers have put Artemi Panarin on the trade […]
