Journalist Katie Strang released a bomb on the side of the New York Times concerning New York Rangers. Indeed, Artemi Panarin would have been involved in a sex scandal with an employee. In rumors, several internal change speculations also circulate. Will we see a big cleaning this summer with the Rangers?
“A woman left the organization in August 2024 after concluding the agreements, which included clauses of non-disclosure and non-awakening of reprehensible acts. A settlement agreement was concluded with Panarin and another with MSG Sports. Several people in the organization were aware of the agreements and circumstances surrounding his departure, and some of them spoke to The Athletic subject to keeping anonymity, because they still work in hockey. ”
This is what we can read from Katie Strang’s text concerning the involvement of Artemi Panarin in this file. The incident would have occurred in 2023 during a trip abroad. Members of the organization and a dozen players gathered at the hotel and Panarin would have seized the complainant’s phone on the file. The Russian player would have told the woman that “if she wants to recover it, that she must do it in her room”. When she went to the Panarin’s room, the latter would have placed her on the bed before she pushed it back and leaves the room.
A big cleaning?
The file ended with an agreement between the complainant and the Panarin clan, accompanied by the owners of the New York Rangers. But as the leaders seemed to know the history, could it be decided to clean up?
In terms of hockey, the rangers have highly disappointed. The names of Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad circulate a lot in rumors for a transaction this summer. On the other hand, what Jim Biringer recently mentioned was that we could also dismiss the CEO according to a source that confided in the RG.ORG.
When the hockey elements are added to those of the sex scandal, it is difficult to think that Chris Drury remains in place. Some will claim his head simply for the agreed agreed agreement with the complainant in the Panarin file. We know how the popular court now works.
