Artemi Panarin has captivated New York Rangers fans with a combination of on-ice brilliance and off-ice exuberance, leading him to become one of the most entertaining figures in New York.
His mixture of smarts and skill has many claiming that Panarin is the piece the Rangers have missed for the last decade, assumptions that are astounding considering he is merely 45 games into his first season on Broadway.
Not only has Panarin played his way into the hearts of those who support the Blueshirts, but he has also played his way into the Hart Trophy race, displaying his superstar talent on a nightly basis.
