Artemi Panarin, the New York Rangers’ top scorer for the sixth consecutive season, was voted as the team’s most valuable player for 2024-25 by the local chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association. Panarin was also voted winner of the Good Guy Award by the local PHWA chapter.

Center Sam Carrick, who has played in a career-high 79 games after signing with the Rangers as a free agent last summer, was voted by his teammates as winner of the Players’ Player Award, recognizing his drive and teamwork.

Panarin, who signed a seven-year contract with the Rangers on July 1, 2019, has 550 points (186 goals, 364 assists) in the 429 games he’s played since joining the organization.

That includes his team-leading totals of 37 goals and 89 points this season; no other player who has spent the whole season with the Rangers has more than 25 goals (Vincent Trocheck) or 61 points (Adam Fox).

“I think Panarin’s (award) probably speaks for itself,” coach Peter Laviolette said. “You can see it in the way he plays the game, that the impact he has on the game is important to this team.”

It’s that time of year when the Rangers ask beat reporters to submit their votes for team MVP, but the tenor of the conversation has a very different tone compared to recent seasons.

Given the disappointment of missing the playoffs for the first time in four years, it feels like we’re eliminating the least valuable candidates and then trying to sort through who’s left. It’s striking how many Blueshirts regressed or had seasons below their usual standards.
