The people freaking out can now breathe again that he signed the contract everyone knew he was going to sign months ago.

 

[MrAlmost]

Haha. I was told it would never be less than 2.5. Hm

@duhmetreE @HockeyBasedNYC

Good signing. Good value.

 

[haohmaru]

Exactly what he deserves. Now, for the love of god, please earn a WHOLE LOT MORE for your next contract.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Oh HELL yea. Lets f***in go!

 

[Tob]

The reason negotiation was to get more PP time.

 

[Beniersgeron]

Focking yeahhh, the day I changed my username to A-Laf is the day Lafreniere signed, its destiny he said he been working on his skating this summer, lets hope for a break out year.

I'm definitely surprised by that.

Keeping that thread locked, it’s over 8k posts. Can discuss Laf in here.

felt like it took him 5+ years just to reach an agreement

Can't be a good sign that he only got 2.3M. No team in the league though he was worth an offer sheet for significantly more?

 

[mti79]

What happened to the huge offer sheet me was going to get? Lol...

Glad to have him in the fold. Let's hope takes some serious strides

Offer sheets are extremely rare. We wouldn't even know if he was offered one or not. He doesn't have to sign the offer.

 

[MrAlmost]

I'm definitely surprised by that.

I was being a bit facetious, but coming in under is pretty big.

It allows us to allocate all the bonuses for this year to this year's cap and still have enough for a callup. That could be pretty big for next year when we will have a few big contracts to possibly consider. Kakko, Lindgren, Schneider.

I’m very happy with this deal but, sadly, it’s also somewhat of a “prove it” deal. When this one’s done he’ll have 5 seasons under his belt. If his agent is worth a damn they’re looking at Hughes and Stutzle and myriad other second contracts around the league and hopefully understanding WHY they aren’t able to cash in on that level and utilizing that as reason for a hard-working offseason and hungry year. Best thing in the world for us is if Laf comes to camp and the only thing on his mind is earning an 8x8 extension next.

 

[CasusBelli]

That’s 2.3MM too much.

 

[FinRanger]

Because nowadays we can't trust our own eyes here are the numbers from the all mighty Jfresh on X. Looks solid.

 

[DanielBrassard]

About right for what he is

 

[I Eat Crow]

I just hope that he comes to camp in the best shape of his life with an attitude to prove the doubters wrong.

Come on now lol

Am I wrong, or does every chart show regression from his sophomore year?

 

[GAGLine]

Rangers are currently $46,583 over the cap, but that's for a 23 man roster. If we send down Belzile and Mackey, we'll have $1,503,417 in cap space.

Based off recent softball pics uploaded, he looks like he’s still in “loves Cinnabon” shape.

 

[NYR94]

I'm surprised he's even able to sign the contract with how jacked he looks in the pics people have been posting.
