Rangers can terminate him with a conduct clause if they wanted to and now may have to
- MeltingPlastic

But they helped pay off the woman lol

Yea some sorta breach of contract

They’ve fired everyone else for less egregious things lol

It’s just hard to believe how unbelievably cursed this franchise is. We find new ways every year it seems like
- Slimtj100

Don’t you think they should have invoked that clause prior to last year when this agreement was signed and the 49 goals.

This was really well done:

I doubt they terminate the contract. Since there were no criminal charges against him I don’t see something that drastic happening. Not saying I agree just don’t see it happening

One step closer to a North South identity

As a New Yorker, still the best state in my opinion despite all the warts and issues. But happy you are taking pleasure in other’s pain

Home is home, I respect that. But you clearly need to travel a bit more.

Your team should have as much grit as you have shown on the board sticking up for your town.

Take away the Ranger emblem on jersey and put Ron Duguay's hair on it...

I don’t think you understand what you’re saying and that must be scary and confusing for you

Thank you for proving my point.

If they do clear his cap you can have fun putting together rosters with Sam Bennett, ekblad or boesser on them lol

Been pretty much every where within the US and a lot outside the US. From a city standpoint with in the US NYC offers the most by a lot. It has plenty of flaws as does every single place

Agreed, very well done. Goosebumps. I know he lost his fastball, but he will be missed. Joe isn’t necessarily my cup of tea but I don’t hate him. I learned so much about the game growing up with Sam and JD.

Fair point. While not a Ranger fan, i felt for the fans. They were on a path to a cup imo last summer and needed more Barclay Goodrow and Jacob Trouba...not less...

Or Marner?

No problem bozo

Your analogy still makes no sense

You can keep Chicago. I grew up on the South Side. Like New York. A liberal haven of insanity and decay.

It is maybe a little high brow for some...but just the concept of elitism. That your leadership knows more than the rank and file...

The art is the utopia of liberal thought....the unforseen circumstances that come from moronic decisions.

Signing off boys. I do not know where your franchise even starts. I think you clone Cuylie and Schnieder....and bring in more of them.

Not really. Those players were not problems per se, but were overpaid for a 4th liner and bottom pair dman. Hard cap league calls for those types of moves. Just was not handled in the best way

Schnedier is a just 5/6 dman. Not moving the needle anywhere on a team at this point. Cuylle sure

I’m so confused by that guy and what he thinks this is here

From Mika in a post article:

“I know what my contract says,” Zibanejad said. “Both parties agreed to it, and like I said, I think I’ve earned it. Until it’s time to adjust it, I have no plans of going [anywhere]. I’ve invested a lot of years here.”

Home is home, I respect that. But you clearly need to travel a bit more.

You mean besides Boston, Chicago, Miami, Arizona, Houston, Des Moines, etc? Plus international travel.

These are people who give themselves names like “true grit” and come to hockey forums to talk about how scary cities are. Afraid of their own shadows

While distasteful, I think this paints the team in a more favorable light:

The NHL says the New York Rangers informed the league last year that they were looking into sexual assault allegations by a team employee against Artemi Panarin after a report detailing the situation and settlement payments made to the woman surfaced Thursday.

"The club retained an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation, which the league was fully apprised of," the NHL said in a statement. "We consider the matter closed."

The Athletic reported that Panarin and Madison Square Garden Sports, which owns the Rangers, paid financial settlements to a former team employee last year after she alleged Panarin sexually assaulted her during a road trip in December 2023.

According to The Athletic, Panarin allegedly took the woman's phone at a postgame gathering and said she could retrieve it by coming to his hotel room. When she went to his room, Panarin allegedly pinned her down on the bed before she was able to push him off, retrieve her phone and leave the room.

The woman, who reported her accusation against Panarin about three months later, left the Rangers in August after reaching settlements that included a nondisclosure agreement and no admission of wrongdoing by Panarin, The Athletic reported.

"The matter has been resolved," a spokesperson for MSG said in an emailed statement.

The woman also said "the matter has been resolved" in a statement to The Athletic.

A message sent to Panarin's agent was not immediately returned. Coach Peter Laviolette referred to MSG's statement when asked by reporters at the Rangers' morning skate before their season finale.

Panarin, a 33-year-old winger from Russia, was New York's leading scorer again this season and is wrapping up the sixth season of a seven-year, $81.5 million contract signed in 2019. On Wednesday, he was named the team's MVP for the second straight season.

The Associated Press and Field Level Media contributed to this report.

I was wondering when the bleeding hearts would show thier face.

I’ve got the balls to take you on. I’m not advocating for Panarin. If he assaulted the woman, and apparently there’s truth to the matter he should be taken to task.

But that’s not the point. This about the journalist who took a story that’s been settled amicably, and put it out there for all the hand ringers to see.

Don’t give me this crap about shedding light on a story. We don’t need to know everything

Not for nothing but this is newsworthy for it to be printed. This could have been a crime if it was reported to the police. As for the timing, she might have just received information from someone in the organization. Not for nothing there are about 7 disgruntled players moved from this organization the past few months, maybe one of them leaked it.
