New York Rangers Star Artemi Panarin Declares Intention to Leave the Team
New York, NY – In a stunning announcement that has left New York Rangers fans in disbelief, star forward Artemi Panarin has declared his intention to leave the team at the end of the 2024 NHL season. Panarin, who has been the cornerstone of the Rangers’ offense since joining the team in 2019, revealed his decision in a heartfelt statement on social media.
“After much reflection and discussion with my family, I’ve decided that this will be my final season with the New York Rangers,” Panarin wrote. “The past five years have been some of the best of my life, both on and off the ice. I’m incredibly grateful to the Rangers organization, my teammates, and, most importantly, the fans, who have shown me nothing but love and support. However, I believe it’s time for a new challenge and a new chapter in my career.”
Panarin, known as “The Breadman,” has been a dominant force for the Rangers, consistently leading the team in points and serving as one of the league’s premier playmakers. His departure will undoubtedly leave a significant void in the Rangers’ lineup and marks the end of an era for the franchise.

The announcement has sparked a wave of reactions from fans and analysts alike, with many expressing shock and disappointment, but also understanding of Panarin’s desire to explore new opportunities. Speculation about his next move has already begun, with several teams likely to vie for his services in the coming offseason.
Panarin’s departure is a significant development for the Rangers as they look to continue building a competitive team in the NHL. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Panarin as he plays out his final games in a Rangers uniform, with fans hoping to see him help the team make a deep playoff run before he moves on.
For now, the focus remains on the ice, where Panarin will continue to lead the Rangers as they strive for success in what will be his final season with the team.
