New York Rangers superstar forward reveals his true feelings regarding the organization as their season continues to spiral out of control.

The Rangers have now lost 13 out of their last 17 games and are coming off a brutal 5-0 loss against the New Jersey Devils, which has sparked some concerning comments from the Rangers' star players.

Several players are growing frustrated as they seem to have lost their sense of confidence they once had.

Star forward Artemi Panarin admitted that this is the worst he can remember the team has ever been in his six seasons with the Rangers.

Ever since Chris Drury announced that the Rangers veterans are available in trades the team has been in shambles. Jacob Trouba is now gone, Kaapo Kakko is now gone, and still nothing has changed.

Recent rumors have speculated other players are currently on the trade block, such as Chris Kreider, Ryan Lindgren and even K'Andre Miller.

The 33-year-old forward is coming off a 120-point season, and has currently tallied 16 goals, 22 assists for a total of 37 points in 32 games.

'I can promise everyone on the team wants to win, everyone wants to work hard," Panarin said. "But sometimes, if you don't have confidence and aren't in the right place mentally, everything feels harder."

If things do change quickly, the Rangers will likely be heading towards another retool, and only time will tell if Panarin will be a part of it or not.
