Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn ImagesMika Zibanejad is the longest-tenured player on the New York Rangers.
Now, Artemi Panarin, who was held out of the Rangers’ 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Wednesday and will sit until president and general manager Chris Drury can trade him.
Panarin finished first on the Rangers in scoring in each of his six full seasons with New York.
That same season, Panarin scored the series winner in a Game 7 overtime to lift the Rangers over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Panarin was, on paper, the Rangers’ best player in each of his seven seasons in New York and the club’s most prolific individual play-driver in years.
