While the Stanley Cup playoffs are over, the NHL has reached one of its most exciting times of the year and another big piece of news has made its way to the public.

Already in the next couple of weeks, fans are expecting to find out where players like John Tavares, John Carlson, Erik Karlsson and many others will end up. Now, a new name has emerged on the trade market and he’s another point-per-game player. Artemi Panarin has reportedly told the Blue Jackets that he will not re-sign this offseason and he becomes a UFA next year.

With that news, Columbus has reportedly started fielding some offers on the talented forward.

He’s not the only one to be involved in new trade rumours either. Wayne Simmonds is also apparently on the block for the Flyers and the Phil Kessel rumours have continued in Pittsburgh. Adding those names to everything that’s already out there, fans have a lot to work with when dreaming up their ideal lineups for next season.
