A ridiculous trade proposal has been made between the Chicago Blackhawks and the New York Rangers regarding superstar forward Artemi Panarin.

The proposal sees the New York Rangers gain a haul of assets from the Blackhawks, as Panarin would return home to the United Center, and GM Chris Drury has plenty of assets for the retool.
The New York Rangers haven't offered Artemi Panarin a contract extension. For Panarin, this is troubling news, as the team is in the midst of a retool.
With so many moving pieces, is Artemi Panarin the next to be shipped out of New York? When it comes to teams, there wouldn't be many who could afford to trade for him, and he'd have to waive his no-movement clause.

Chicago Blackhawks Trade for former Calder Trophy Winner Artemi Panarin

The trade from heavy.com presents a trade that would send Artemi Panarin back to the Blackhawks, along with Taylor Raddysh.
In return, the Blackhawks would send defenseman Ethan Del Mastro, a 1st-round pick, and a 2nd-round pick.
Blackhawks get:

Artemi Panarin, F

Taylor Raddysh, F

Rangers get:

2026 first-round pick

2027 second-round pick

Ethan Del Mastro, D

The Blackhawks sent Artemi Panarin to Columbus before they got to see his game fully mature in the NHL. After his 120-point season, we're sure GM Stan Bowman regrets the hubris that caused them to swap Panarin for Brandon Saad, Anton Forsberg, and a 5th-round pick in 2018.
The former 120-point forward would be a perfect 1st-line forward to feed off of Connor Bedard.
While the New York Rangers solidify their blueline with Ethan Del Mastro, and receive two draft picks to build out the pipeline with.
