it's a slight overpay but Panarin is an awesome player in every respect

He’s a game breaker. This is what they get paid now.

I would say that Panarin helps them a lot, and Trouba improves their top 4, but everything else is a wash. They've removed a lot of depth of talent as well along the way.

The Rangers have a good defense, and a legit first line. They still have Lundqvist.

The forward depth is trash.

You can have a lot more fun in NYC with $11M+/yr than you can in Columbus

Depends on what you define as fun. 11 million a year and you can pretty much buy the entire city and indoctrinate them into worshiping you. In New York thats 3 weeks of routine partying.
