Player Discussion Alexis Lafrenière

[ORRFForever]

Well I think there’s a difference between not being completely untouchable and being given up on.

That's true. He has so much potential, the Rangers better get something good in return.

I’ll be legitimately shocked if they trade him.

 

[ORRFForever]

I’ll be legitimately shocked if they trade him.

Me, too.

The rumor is Alexis Lafreniere is avaliable for trade.

Source?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

The rumor is Alexis Lafreniere is avaliable for trade. I understand I wouldn't want to trade him either. But just Curious as a Dallas Star Fan would Radulov, Faksa and Ty Dallandra get that deal close maybe add a 2nd rounder for Alexis Lafreniere and Julien Gauthier work?

The "rumor" was immediately debunked by several legit sources. Please don't continue to try and spread this garbage.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Source?

It was debunked about 10 minutes after that "rumor" came out by Staple and Brooks. It's fake news.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Since Jan 31, he's scored 9 points in 17 games. Would equal to a 44 point season over 82 games.

He's improving. Give him time.

dont think the value is there. how about georgiev, nemeth, kravstov, and a 3rd for robertson and a 2nd?

If Brooks says no it must be true.

are you high?

If lafreniere was on the first power play he would have at least...LEAST 12 more points. How do I know? Because Ryan strome who does basically nothing on the first power play other than exist has 12 points.

Kreider has 26
Panarin 31
Mika 24
Fox 28

When you're operating at half the production or less of literally ever single player that you're playing with...you're the weak link.

Lafreniere might struggle to start but with consistent minutes he would be terrific in the bumper spot that strome has been doing nothing with.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

10 points in last 18 games.

 

[LeetchisGod]

10 points in last 18 games.

Baby steps.

 

[Rempe73]

We are getting somewhere

 

[ORRFForever]

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Another assist.

[GoAwayPanarin]

Could and should have 4-5 more over that time span.

But yeah, with PP 1 time hes probably trending towards a 40+ point sophomore season and almost everyone is quiet.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

11 points in last 19 games.

48 point season over 82 games…

 

[ORRFForever]

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Another assist.

random question, who were Laf's linemates in juniors?

 

[Rangers in 7]

I’m going to lay it out real thick right now

If he gets scratched after this game we should honestly just trade him

People out here bitching and moaning about his lack of “star power” and points (some of you know who you are and are honestly stupid) need to shut up

We are doing a disservice to this kid if we think after the first period he had he deserved to be demoted and benched for the third

I f***ing guarantee had he been drafted by any other franchise in the nhl he’d be averaging around .7 to .8 points per game and that is no joke

The way we have treated him along with Kakko to some extent is beyond embarrassing

Thank you for attending my TED talk

Some of us think he's sucked but also have seethed at the NYR not being able to develop young talented forward. They're not mutually exclusive.

Some of us also feel his demotion tonight was COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT

So don't be obtuse thinking that any NYR Fan hates Lafreniere or wants to see him fail.

There are most definitely a few people in here who want him to fail lol

 

[LORDE]

I respectfully disagree but I also said we looked like a different team in the 1st tonight. We looked even more different in the 2nd LOL

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Next time we wonder why multiple unanimous consensus top of the draft prospects aren't producing, basically just pull this game tape.

How many times in the last 3 years do you think Jack Hughes was benched, pulled off a scoring line, not given PP time, for grinders because his team was losing a regular-season game? This short-sighted, risk-averse, old-school mentality is pervasive throughout the entire NYR org.
