Still an interesting person Artemy Panarin. In addition to the fact that the Russian hockey player is a talented athlete, he also knows how to defend his rights. On the eve of Artemy posted on his social networks message of the following content.
“I look forward to the playoffs featuring New York Rangers.” However, I have concerns not only about the health of players and their families, but also about the long-term prosperity of the NHL. For almost two decades, hockey players have defended the owners ’income with escrow. And they did it even during the crisis because of the pandemic, although the owners’ incomes continue to grow exponentially. It is time to rectify the escrow situation.
“There are concerns over the long-term prosperity of the NHL.” Panarin does not want to give his money
Players want guarantees that deductions (escrow) will not increase in exchange for agreeing to play the season during the virus.

We, as players, cannot resume matches without an agreement. I know that the process of choosing cities for the playoffs is in full swing. I sincerely wish that teammates and I could train and conduct matches in the home arena, ”said Panarin.
There is no doubt that the text for it was made by an agent of the hockey player Paul Theophanos. A former American commando of Greek origin is smart and cunning. In addition, he has long been working in the agent business, speaks fluent Russian. Theofanos probably long advised Artemy how to correctly express such a serious deep thought. And Panarin hadn’t learned English so well yet. To say that Panarin’s statement has become an information bomb means to say nothing.
Panarin, in fact, “ran over” all the owners of the NHL clubs, including the owner of the “Rangers” James Dolana. After all, this promise was addressed to them, the key idea of which was dissatisfaction with the escrow deductions system, which was written in the collective agreement immediately after the 2005 lockout. The income of the union of players and the NHL should be distributed evenly, and a certain percentage is kept from the salaries of hockey players.
Given the global coronavirus pandemic, the incomprehensible situation with the season, the lack of revenue from ticket sales and club merchandise, club owners suffer huge losses. In this regard, the notorious escrow this year is planned to increase. Not only will hockey players (in our case, Panarin) have to pay a large New York state tax, but also make an increased deduction to a special fund.

Why are our Enkhaelian truth-tellers silent? Zadorov has already spoken out about the protests in the United States
Artemy Panarin is still silent, and Ilya Bryzgalov does not watch TV.

Recall that the Russian striker signed a seven-year agreement with the Rangers for a total of $ 81.5 million, becoming the highest-paid Russian in the league. His average annual salary, which will be taken into account by the league under the salary ceiling, is $ 11.64 million. In the first season, Artemy was supposed to earn $ 14 million, but after all the deductions, the amount will be much less. Panarin feels that another tidbit slips out of his hands.
It is interesting to see how such a “run-in” on large and super-rich people comes back to Panarin, even if Artemy “drove” in a correct and soft form. But the message of the Russian is obvious: for his salary he is afraid more and more and does not want to share it with anyone.
It is noteworthy that since the publication of the statement by Panarin, not a single active NHL hockey player has written anything similar and has not supported the Russian truth-seeker. Except that Ryan Kessler, who missed the season in Anaheim due to an injury, fought a bit with his Twitter followers. We have not yet seen official and large statements in the Panarin style, including from compatriots Artemy. Can Panarin never wait for support?

Anything can happen, but you can imagine something similar on the part of Alexander Ovechkin, who would hint through the press Ted Leonsis that it would be necessary to lower the escrow, and it is better to cancel it altogether? It is unlikely that a diplomatic and correct Ovechkin, who is in excellent relations with the owner of Washington, would make such a public statement. In a personal conversation – probably over the Internet – no. Similarly, we can say about Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid and other NHL superstars.
Panarin is still damp in terms of behavior. It is evident that there is not enough life experience. Artemy does not fully understand that the essence of the problem raised by him is important, but you need to talk about it not in this vein and not with direct hints of dissatisfaction with the actions of people who contain your club and pay you a salary from your own pocket. These are the rules of the NHL. Either you live and play along them, or go to the KHL, where you will be received with open arms. True, from now on they will not fill up with huge money in the Continental League. It is time for a tight salary ceiling.

“We have already drunk everything, the stock is out.” Panarin does not miss quarantine in America

Panarin is great for fighting for his salary. Let’s right now each of us will put ourselves in his place. Of course, any person would be unhappy, but where to go, if not otherwise? Panarin himself chose America, he connected with it his whole next life and career. I bought a big house in the USA, signed a multi-year contract with an American club. Earned fame, money, celebrity. Now you have to live by the established and prescribed rules.
By the way, the example of Artemy can serve as a good lesson for young Russian hockey players who are going to rush to North America without regard. In any case, Panarin will receive decent money, even after all deductions. But someone can simply be left without pants, head to toe with various payments. So does it make sense to publicize a foreign country and run there without looking back at the first call of an agent, if you can worthily live and work at home? Indeed, if you are a strong and promising hockey player, then in Russia you will be in demand and earn excellent money.
