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

[Inferno]

Interesting number...not at all what I would have guessed.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Obviously Montreal doesn’t count because all their players have the thingy

 

[RangersFan1994]

really bummed. why does the NHL Shop let you use the apostrophes sign in Lafreniere's name? I don't know what it's called. I won't buy a jersey without the apostrophes sign in his name, like the one down below. this makes no sense. anyone know why????

 

[RangersFan1994]

idk why they wouldn’t. they allow dashes and apostrophes.

they don't for custom jerseys. just tried to buy one and no apostrophes, no signs or symbols. so stupid of the NHL shop to be honest.

this is why I’m questioning what it will look like officially.

 

[bl02]

Anyone have an idea why he picked #13 instead of #22. Didn't he wear #22 at the Hlinka with Canada?

Maybe it’s to make you spend more on the true official jersey, but they allow dashes and apoatrophes on game jerseys abd the brière example shown before

I would think the one in the Rangers photo when he signed, why else would the Rangers show his jersey, but to me the NHL does not let you put apostrophes is an issue. can't even order his jersey right now.

so why would the NHL shop not let you customize jerseys with symbols??? that is really stupid. NHL shop has to change this feature in their custom jersey and custom items.

Wearing 13 takes confidence. Joins Datsyuk and Sundin, among others. I like it.

 

[Ruggs225]

Haha, this was the jersey number i assigned him in NHL 20 when i won the pick to draft him

I'm sure they will have Lafreniére jerseys for sale in no time with the correct diacritics.

 

[TominNC]

He's wearing 13? (For some reason I can't see some pics people post)

That's always been my number.

 

[TominNC]

I do find it funny that people would care, or "think" he'd look better in a certain number. Kinda silly the things fans worry about.

 

[RangersFan1994]

I'm sure they will have Lafreniére jerseys for sale in no time with the correct diacritics.

yea that is true but that is not the issue lol the issue is if my last name had apostrophes, I could not get one because I can't custom with any symbols. that should be changed. i was hoping to buy a jersey today while I am not broke lmfao

[RangersFan1994]

can he celebrate like this though

 

[Kovalev27]

Interestingly enough none of his junior jerseys are spelled LAFRENIÈRE

they’re spelled LAFRENIERE even his QMJHL jerseys are spelled that way. So interesting to see it differently.

so he changed it for the pros lmfao

 

[Cag29]

It doesn’t matter what number he wears. he brings his star with him. Look how excited he is to sign! He’s ours now! LGR!!!

Eh, 13 is only considered unlucky because of religious purposes, if someone's not religious there's no reason to consider it unlucky.

Its probably the equipment managers making sure its correct rather than his decision, but it makes for a better jersey!

 

[EdJovanovski]

I wore 13 for every team I've ever played for. I told you guys I believe in him.

I wear 96

 

[Machinehead]

I wear 96

I'm very partial to that number

 

[EdJovanovski]

I'm very partial to that number
