Blackhawks: Recent failure shows how important Artemi Panarin was
The Chicago Blackhawks are yet to make the playoffs since trading away elite forward Artemi Panarin. What makes it worse is the amount of success he’s had outside of Chicago.
Artemi Panarin was an undrafted free agent, who the Chicago Blackhawks took a chance on when he joined the team in 2015-16. He made an immediate impact, joining the second line with forward Patrick Kane and newly acquired centerman Artem Anisimov.
