In return, the Kings gave up 20-year-old forward Liam Greentree as well as a third-round pick (2026) and a fourth-round pick (2028).

The 34-year-old Panarin was considered one of the most coveted players on the market. He signed a new two-year contract with the Californians worth a total of 22 million dollars, which begins next season. Panarin has played 877 games in the best ice hockey league in the world, scoring 342 goals and 646 assists.
