Kings Land Panarin in Blockbuster, Sign Extension

The Los Angeles Kings pull off a stunner by prying Artemi Panarin from the Rangers just before the Olympic roster freeze, handing over prized prospect Liam Greentree and conditional picks that could sweeten if LA advances deep in the playoffs. GM Ken Holland commits with a two-year, $22 million extension, signaling this isn't a rental but a calculated swing to ignite a stagnant offense that's left them scraping for Wild Card points.
