Panarin Gifts Rolex for Jersey Number, Signs $22M Extension with Kings

Artemi Panarin, recently traded to the LA Kings from the Rangers, secured his desired jersey No. 72 by gifting a Rolex watch to the team's mascot, Bailey. The former Rangers star, who waived his no-movement clause for the trade, also signed a two-year, $22 million contract extension with the Kings. Panarin was acquired by Los Angeles in exchange for prospect Liam Greentree and a conditional draft pick, expressing pride in his time with the Rangers.
