Episode Details

Artemi Panarin shakes up the NHL as he heads to the Los Angeles Kings, leaving New York Rangers fans questioning the team's strategy and return package. Can Panarin's elite playmaking and scoring ignite the Kings' offense and revive their playoff hopes? Eddie Garcia and John Chick exchange insights on Panarin's fit with the Kings, the impact of his two-year, $11 million extension, and the Rangers acquiring one of the Kings top prospects Liam Greentree.
