Jerez Preview: Can Anyone Stop the #72?

  Lately, Marco Bezzecchi is making winning look easy. With a flawless hat trick of victories in Thailand, Brazil, and the USA, the #72 has treated the early-season standings like his own personal victory lap. Next stop: Jerez. Will the win streak continue in Spain, or can anyone actually disrupt the rhythm of Bez? The "Global Takeover" in Three Acts: Thailand: To open the season in Buriram, Bezzecchi converted a dominant pole position into a Sunday masterclass. Every lap was led by him, crossing the finish line with a 5.5-second cushion over Pedro Acosta, setting the tone for a flawless start to the season. Brazil: In a treacherous race in Goiânia that was shortened due to track degradation concerns, Bez pulled an ambush at the first corner. He kept his cool on a track that felt more like a gravel pit than a circuit, bringing home back-to-back wins from second on the grid.

Panarin To LAK, Greentree To NYR

 




The Artemi Panarin era in New York came to an end Wednesday, as the Rangers traded the star winger to the Los Angeles Kings ahead of the NHL’s roster freeze. In return, New York acquired 20-year-old forward prospect Liam Greentree, a conditional third-round pick in 2026, and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2028. The Rangers are retaining 50 percent of Panarin’s salary as part of the deal.


Panarin departs New York after recording 57 points in 52 games this season, having served as one of the team’s primary offensive contributors since arriving in 2019.

Greentree, the Kings’ first-round selection (26th overall) in the 2024 NHL Draft, is currently playing for the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL, where he has produced 45 points in 34 games this season.



Shortly after the trade, Los Angeles signed Panarin to a two-year, $22 million contract extension, keeping him with the Kings through the 2027-28 season. Panarin waived his full no-movement clause to facilitate the trade.

For the Rangers, the move adds a high-end young asset and future draft capital, while the Kings add an established scorer as they look to strengthen their roster in the present.
