Kings Bet Big on Artemi Panarin to Boost Stanley Cup Odds
The Los Angeles Kings have made their boldest statement in years. Acquiring Artemi Panarin in exchange for Liam Greentree and a conditional third-round pick is the kind of swing that franchises make when they believe their championship window is wide open.
