Artemi Panarin's name has been swirling around in several trade rumors this summer, and things just took another turn.
While things are trending towards Artemi Panarin's time with the New York Rangers being over, we wonder if he could join his fellow Russian friend Sergei Bobrovsky with the back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions, the Florida Panthers?
Their friendship appears very deep, and even a "best friend" type of deal, have a look:
"First of all, he's an unbelievable guy, a great human," Panarin said. "We can talk about everything all day and we can say anything to each other. Some people you're just like, 'Hey,' and you have two things you can talk about, but with him we can talk about good things, not good things, and it doesn't matter. It's a very honest relationship, I would say." "He's my best friend in hockey," Panarin told NHL.com.
Panarin and Bobrovsky's friendship facilitated a trade before
When Panarin was dealt to Columbus, Bobrovsky was the sole reason as to why he felt comfortable there.
"When they traded me to Columbus I was a little upset because I didn't speak with anyone, "but when we met for the first time and our wives met for the first time, we just felt a very interesting chemistry."

But have things changed? During a recent KHL vs NHL game, Bobrovsky let reporters know that he threatened Panarin on the ice.

Is this banter, or real talk? We may never know, but it is certainly something to keep an eye on as Artemi Panarin trade talks continue to heat up as the days go on.
