Prospect Info: 2020 NHL Draft 1st Overall Pick, Alexis Lafreniere, LW

[Thirty One]

Kakko was wearing #45 until he officially made the team. To start the regular season, he switched to #24.

So you’re saying #45 is available

 

[duhmetreE]

We win a cup on his ELC

2022 for #22

This is why people hate the media:

Q: Why didn’t you like the comparisons to Sidney Crosby?
A: I just feel like the only reason the comparisons were made was because we both played in Rimouski as the first-overall QMJHL [Quebec Major Junior Hockey League] pick. I do not like to compare myself to any particular player. Obviously, Crosby is one of the best players of all time, and so I wouldn’t dare compare myself to him. I just want to be Alexis Lafreniere, and my benchmark will always be to surpass myself and make myself better.
Q: Which NHL player reminds you of yourself?
A: Like I said, I do not like to compare myself to any particular player. It’s something I like to avoid. I let the analysts have fun with that question.

Hope Messier hands him 11,

Messier is very humble and would do it but never going to happen. Nobody wants that number. No one wants that clout. Messier is a legend here. Laf can make his own legacy. He doesn’t need to walk in another players shoes to get there.

I get the impression that Lafreniere wouldn't want it anyway and would say he wants to make his own mark on the franchise, not walk in Messier's shadow.

This is the first time I ever heard anyone call Messier humble.

 

[LokiDog]

I hope he takes 91 or 92. I can see 12 and 22, but I think he’ll be an immediate impact player (which is me walking back a lot of comments about him being overhyped.. what can I say? He’s made me a believer). I’d like to see him wear something with some flash.

 

[Polar Bear]

Please take 69. Just do it.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I also want to point out that Serby asked a 19 year old what he thought of Messier and the 94 cup.

 

[Math the wild rose]

Bon jour, what number should Mr. Laffy wear?

Mr lafrenière, de très bon parents humbles, you got the jack pot with the kid. gonna be a dominant player at 22-23.

 

[Math the wild rose]

Mario Lemieux?

Edit: Do you mean on the Rangers?

Mario lemieux ...that the kind of preasure you dont want to put the kid on, juste like crosby. Hes gonna be himself just like Mckinnon or Huberdeau...i think Guy lafleur is more apropriatedominant in his own way just like Panarin is. i like to diminish the expectations, but i know thats the kind of player to get a cup, and believe me this kid gonna give eveything he got. thats a worker, and he got the passion in his eyes always.

Haha, I wasn't comparing him to Mario Lemieux. You said he's the best player from Quebec since Guy Lafleur. And I asked what about Mario Lemieux who came after Guy Lafleur. But on second thought when I reread that you might have meant on the Rangers since Lafleur briefly played on the Rangers.
