The Artemi Panarin situation has suddenly become a major storyline in the National Hockey League.
We hadn't heard much about it all summer, his name has been generating the most buzz-especially since he's been linked to the Montreal Canadiens.
Jeff Gorton and the Habs are clearly keeping an eye on this situation.
That said, while a trade is still possible, insider Frank Seravalli just poured a bit of cold water on those hoping to see Panarin moved (possibly even to join Ivan Demidov).

"I think there's a deal on the table that makes sense for both sides, or will be at some point during this upcoming season, let's see how that plays out"
We'll keep monitoring the situation, but this does shift the narrative from the past few days.
Artemi Panarin, 33, is nearing the end of a contract paying him $11.6 million per season (a deal signed with Jeff Gorton when he was GM of the Rangers).
Over the past several seasons, Panarin has recorded 88 points (last year), 120 points, 92 points, 105 points, 113 points, 113 points, 90 points, and 83 points.
Yes, he's a point-producing machine-and yes, he's an extremely attractive player.
