In a recent interview, Artemi Panarin made headlines by firmly stating that he has no intention of joining the Vegas Golden Knights or the Buffalo Sabres, refuting any speculation regarding a trade. Panarin's commitment to the New York Rangers remains steadfast, highlighting his desire to continue contributing to the team that believed in him and provided the platform for his success in the league.

The Rangers forward emphasized that while rumors are a part of the NHL landscape, his focus is on the upcoming season and helping his teammates achieve their goals. With the excitement of the NHL season just around the corner, Panarin's clarity on his future is a welcome sign for Rangers fans.

Meanwhile, the trade market is buzzing, especially with the Vegas Golden Knights seeking to balance their roster after a series of ups and downs last year. As teams consider various trades in hopes of boosting their playoff chances, Panarin’s name continues to surface in discussions, albeit with the player himself dismissing the notion.

With Panarin’s skill and leadership, the Rangers are looking to build on their previous successes. The dynamics within the league are shifting, and while Panarin remains in New York, both the Golden Knights and the Sabres are evaluating their options ahead of what promises to be an intense and competitive NHL season.
