Confirmed with Link: - Alexis Lafreniere Signs Extension [7Y/7.45M AAV]​

 

[SnowblindNYR]

He and his line might have played their worst game last game since coming together. But every other game with some luck he looks like he can get 3 points at even strength. He's become a great player.

One lucky assist since he signed his deal. Dude is clearly content and just phoning it in now...






(blame the NHL's shitty scheduling for my crappy posts)

Don't go cold now brother.

I want 3 goals in the next 2 games.

 

[RangersFan1994]

I want a Gordie Howe Hatrick at MSG from the future captain

WTF happened to him? 1 point over the last 11 games and 1 goal in 19 games.

Apparently we weren't shown huge brass balls, but severe testicular cancer.

I knew it was a bad streak but I had no idea it was that bad.

He didn't play enough softball in the offseason.

Ladies and gents: the new worst contract on the NYR.

WTF happened to him? 1 point over the last 11 games and 1 goal in 19 games.

If we round to a pro rata 7 point season, that’s $1MM per point, which on that basis likely makes him the most overpaid player in the league.

Panarin stopped playing, so Laf stopped producing

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

He puts up 57 points once in a year playing with Panarin putting up 120 so Drury signs him to a 7 year x 7M contract. Ridiculous. Why not wait until the end of the season? He was an RFA!

 

[noncents]

he's infected

 

[Row I Goon]

he's infected

To be fair, almost the entire team is.

It seemed reasonable at the time. Who really thought they'd implode this much since then?

He went back to being the player he's been for the vast majority of his career

 

[nyr2k2]

Shouldn't judge the younger players in a season like this where seemingly all the vets have quit.

Or do. I get everyone is out for blood.

 

[McRanger92]

Lafreniere isnt playing well but that line is completely lost with Panarin playing like he is. The whole MO is to read off Panarin and he is playing like a headless chicken. It's why their best chances yesterday came from Lafreniere deflections

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He’s connected a string of games where he had shit luck with a string of games where he legit hasn’t played well.

It’ll correct itself in time and people overreacting here will look dumb as usual.

He needs to stop deferring to Panarin though. There are times where’s he’s made the right read and thrown it over to him but it’s been the default move for a while.

 

[JohnC]

Laf was every bit the contributor on the Pan-Tro-Laf line last year. If you were actually watching you’d know it too.

His 51 ES points to Trocheck’s 52 and Panarin’s 75 is not an egregious gap.

 

[Mugless]

The 2-on-1 last night, there was a 0% chance he was going to shoot. The pass was telegraphed from a million miles away.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Arrête de sucer bite, re-commence a jouer!

 

[Bob Richards]

He sucks at the moment but so does basically everyone else.

It’s a junked season. I think Lafreniere will rebound after an offseason when they put out some of these fires and reset.

 

[duhmetreE]

Panarin Tro Laffy has gone stale.
