LA Kings acquire high-scoring Artemi Panarin in a trade with the New York Rangers
February 4, 2026
The Los Angeles Kings have acquired Artemi Panarin in a trade with the New York Rangers. The Kings are sending a conditional third-round pick and prospect Liam Greentree to the Rangers for the 34-year-old winger. The Rangers retain half of Panarin’s $11.6 million salary cap hit. The move takes the best player available off the market more than a month before the March 6 trade deadline. Panarin led the Rangers in scoring every season since signing with them as a free agent in 2019.
