The 2019 Free Agency Top Tier Forwards
Artemi Panarin — Left Wing — Columbus Blue Jackets
Panarin turned heads this year when he produced 82 points in 81 games, proving that maybe Patrick Kane missed him more than most thought. The forward has given Columbus management until September 13th to make a move — albeit trade or extension. After that, Panarin’s focus will solely be on the ice.
