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

[LORDE]

I think he is looking very good so far during this game against the Wild, he is fast, playing with confidence and is trying to do some stickhandling.

I actually liked that pass to Bread

He couldve forced the shot but that was a sweet pass.

I like that he's trying stuff

 

[Svenhart2008]

Biggest aspect is that he drives the middle

If only Bread can finish the way he finish for Chytil

Byfield now has 10p in 11gp this season averaging 14:51 TOI. Yowza

Double the PP time

 

[Beniersgeron]

Double the PP time

This is correct, most young star even Rossi of the Wild get 1st PP time, Laffy is stuck on 2nd PP with 20 seconds to go while the puck is out of the offensive zone. With the way Rangers PP1 have been, had Laffy been on the 1st PP he could have racked up some more points.

Eek dont bring up Rossi. He was lights out last night. Kid plays with speed. Looked dangerous in ways we wish our young guys would. And not just on the pp.

 

[Savant]

Double the PP time

Double the physical traits. Well, not double, but you get the idea

Because LAF is a middling player and doesn’t deserve more time ?

Have loved Boldy last two years, didn’t know Rossi was in that same draft
These are exciting kids to watch play! They are dynamic and energetic and drive the play. Laf mostly skates the perimeter watching him is so frustrating.

This is not correct. Rossi moved on to the top powerplay for the first time yesterday because they had been completely ineffective so they made changes. Rossi also played 19 games last year averaging 12 minutes with many games on the fourth line

 

[LeetchisGod]

One of the big problems that I see with Laf is that he misses the net way too much. He needs to focus on his shot in the next offseason.

 

[TheDirtyH]

he was our best skater next to artemi last night, love what I'm seeing from him

Lets not compare the two teams. The wild are also playing the next two years "shorthanded" due to the cap.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Laf is starting to look dangerous out there, one of our better players 5 on 5. Though that doesn't say much. I still don't really know if I can articulate what he does well but he passes the eye test to me. I think he's a much better player thna Kakko whom I gave up on being anything significantly better than Fast.

 

[Bob Richards]

It rocks that as my confidence in Laf has risen this season my confidence in Kakko has fallen into the center of the earth lmfao

If only one of them busts I'll take it at this point.

 

[rangersfansince08]

But will either of them ever even eclipse 45 pts?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

But will either of them ever even eclipse 45 pts?

I don't see why Laf couldn't. Also, I'm not advocating to change a lethan Powerplay but without PP1 time Laf is not going to put up the points that you want.

 

[CLW]

This board is bipolar.

One of these days we will have both of them playing great. One of these days…

which teams do you think they'll each be on?

Oh boy, lol.

 

[DanielBrassard]

He‘s definitely been more engaged and involved than at any point in his career, which is encouraging. Rifht now he’s doing a good enough job of making himself available for Panarin to find him with passes either cross ice or he’ll find a soft area near the hashmarks. I’d still like to see him hold onto pucks and distribute more.

I think he's doing more than just getting open as a trigger man, but I'm also happy to see him look to shoot more nonetheless. That between the legs drop pass to Panarin last night was one standout play... I think he's just getting better as the season's gone on.

He really does need to start shooting more though. His first 11 games last year he was at 31 shots w/ 5 points. This year he's at 16 w/ 5 points while averaging more time and shifts this year.
