COLUMBUS, Ohio - The way Joel Quenneville sees it, Artemi Panarin's looming $1.725-million bonus is the price of success.
"I like when players are successful and they meet their goals," Quenneville said after Saturday's morning skate in Columbus.
In other words, there was zero chance the Hawks would sit Panarin for a mostly meaningless season finale. Not only would it send a terrible message to future free agents, but it would be a slap in the face to a rookie who has been one of the Hawks' best players all season.
