Artemi Panarin couldn’t help but smirk.
After giving an honest assessment of how his chemistry wasn’t quite there yet with Vincent Trocheck, who has since been bumped to the Rangers’ third line in favor of Filip Chytil in the previous three games, the star Russian winger was asked by The Post how it unfolded with his former teammate in Chicago, Patrick Kane.
Kane, who is in the final year of his contract and could be one of the top trade-deadline rentals available come March 3, was at Madison Square Garden Saturday with the Blackhawks taking on the Rangers. The rumors of the Rangers’ interest in Panarin’s old friend have been rampant for years, but at the rate the club is going this season, there might not even be a playoff push in New York for Kane to join.Artemi Panarin spent two seasons playing alongside Patrick Kane in Chicago.
After freeing up $1.343 million in cap space, which will equate to approximately $4.8 million by the trade deadline, by sending Ryan Reaves to Minnesota last month, the Rangers are in a position to take on Kane if the Blackhawks assume at least 50 percent of his $10.5 million cap hit. Chicago will likely want a first-round pick and a notable prospect in exchange for Kane and retaining half his contract.
