Alexis Lafreniere Signs Extension [7Y/7.45M AAV]

[Lua]

The kind of contract for the kind of player that for years we looked around the league at some of these other young guys and wished for

It's OK to put him on the PP now lavi

 

[Vitto79]

fair deal Lafy gets it

my mom went to high school with him!

As injury prone as he has been, it's going to be Chytil.

Chytil is great, I feel like his finishing is not on par with a great 1C.

 

[Fitzy]

Very fair deal if Laf stays a 60 point forward, great deal if he gets even better.

I really dont see him receding from where he was last year. It’s evident to me that he’s now an established top 6 forward with or without Panarin.

 

[DialUp]

This was a home run.

For once my favorite poster on this board @Machinehead needs to be called out. Reading his posts back in the day you'd think he'd never be an NHLer.

The eye test was absolutely putrid. Then he fixed his skating. I did not see that coming

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Fantastic.

Now I want to buy a Lafreniere jersey.

 

[Ruggs225]

Fantastic.

Now I want to buy a Lafreniere jersey.

Haha was thinking the same

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Amazing deal

 

[bobbop]

We don't use the word tagging this way nowadays old timer.

Just kidding!

That’s what the CBA says.

This should be a separate thread.

Mika level moderation.

 

[bhamill]

I use hyperbole 5 million times a day!

And I’ve asked you 10 million times not to exaggerate!

 

[will1066]

Amazing deal

Drury was not gonna let Laf ruin his weekend

 

[Whoot Whoot]

this has a chance to become a top 10 deal in the league

 

[Row I Goon]

 

[bhamill]

So Drury's first big negotiation and he already fails at

1. Getting the 8th year
2. Getting a deal signing without trade protection
3. Getting a deal signed without a ton of signing bonuses making it buyout proof

This is satire, right?

 

[JCProdigy]

f***ing horrible deal. Coulda had Josh Anderson at 5.5m AAV...

....seems like everybody is inhaling that "copium" now, huh?!?!

 

[Jack Hanson]

Thank you, god!

I like how he didnt fiddle f*** us around trying to extract every last penny like a certain person w initials I.S.

Shhhh, they don’t like talking about those times.

Conor Garland, ‘a third rounder’. F*ck me. Never forget.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

When the time comes the C is gonna look good on him ..............

 

[Rangerboy030]

What a deal.

 

[Siddi]

Beautful contract. He will most definetly get a shot at PP1 now.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I did a double take when I first saw the terms for this.

Almost feels too good to be true. I would have been happy with 8. Feels like he’s borderline already worth this amount.

 

[gump116]

Has the potential to be the best deal Drury has ever signed a player to.

Long term. High upside young player. Already under market value and will only get better as the cap goes up. Imagine if the kid gets PP time? A 90 point player on that deal in 2 years?

He’s a 90 point player right now with power play time. Just needs the opportunity

 

[Rangeri]

Great news for Rangers fans ! Happy for the kid !
