Laviolette Eyes Kings Reunion With Artemi Panarin

Peter Laviolette is already talking like a coach who knows exactly which reunion he wants to see, and Artemi Panarin is the obvious name at the center of it. That kind of public anticipation usually means there is more going on than a casual comment, even if nobody is ready to spell out the whole plan. The Kings always attract attention when a big-name fit starts to take shape, because these are the moves that change both the lineup card and the expectations.
