He was exactly the player the Rangers thought he would be. He was exactly the player New York needed him to be.

And as he waived his no-move clause to accept a trade to the Kings on Wednesday, Panarin should be remembered as not only one of the greatest free agent signings in Rangers history, but as one of the best in all of New York sports…

He ultimately collected the ninth most points (607) in franchise history in at least 216 fewer games than any other player on the all-time list in front of him. With one of his signature celebratory leg kicks or some “stupid s–t at the blue line,” Panarin had the Garden on its feet. Do you think it’s a coincidence that the best Rangers season of his New York tenure coincided with his career-best campaign?

The 120 points he recorded propelled the Rangers through their Presidents’ Trophy-winning season in 2023-24. It counted as the second highest single-season total in franchise history, behind only Jaromir Jagr’s 123 in 2005-06.

Even as the Rangers fell apart the following season, Panarin never faltered in his status as the highest-producing player on the team. He did so for all seven years he donned a Rangers sweater.

His preference to speak to just reporters instead of the cameras — on account of not wanting to be misunderstood while speaking his second language — hid just how often he spoke on behalf of the team at the toughest points of this Rangers downfall.

Panarin’s modest upbringing comes through in the way he treats others. Growing up in Korkino in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia under the care of his grandparents, Panarin didn’t even dream of playing in the Olympics like most hockey players. He felt so far away from such an honor.

Whether it's the fan he bought coffee for in a hotel lobby (a story shared with me recently) or the 1,500 N95 masks he had delivered to the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 34-year-old would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.

When the late great Larry Brooks shared his grandson's passion for hockey with Panarin, the following week a package showed up with not one, but two state-of-the-art pairs of skates. One for now and another bigger pair that he could grow into."

The curly-haired No. 10 and the bald No. 10 may be different on the ice, but he always treats people the same.”

He's stressed it's all about his family so you support him through that."
