Player Discussion Alexis Lafreniere

[Raspewtin]

he's f***ing shit. absolute shit.

nothing constructive to add, I just viscerally dislike him (the player).

You could give me a polygraph test and I’d tell you I believe this and pass. Wonder if this ended up being proven in a court of law, we could get compensation via another 1st overall pick? Knowing our luck it’ll be this year for Celebrini though, who looks like a Laf clone. We should wait for a couple years before exposing Laf & his parents for the frauds they are. Maybe Ranger fans can even file a class action lawsuit and garnish his wages and have them distributed to fans as a sort of reparations.

Get him deported as well.

very very good point. if you bring his name up the gm on the other side of the phone call will put you on hold and laugh his ass off for 5 fill minutes. and you would do the exact same thing if the situation was reversed.

It only takes 1 GM to think that they can make it work. When San Jose traded for Joe Thornton they did not even cal asking for Thornton. They called asking for Samsonov. Boston shocked them by asking if they had any interest in Thornton. Lets not sell low. If we are going to sell lets try to pump up his value somehow.

Not a lot likable about him ...

 

[zlev]

he's the best at getting the puck and then immediately being closed off and smothered on the boards. elite.

agree or disagree, great post. we need a word limit in this thread lol

Never takes over a shift. Doesn't even try. Stays in his lane.

Biggest plus predraft was competitiveness, and he has zero fire. Scouting is all made up gibberish.

This gave me a genuine laugh.
Agree or disagree, it’s about as blunt as is humanly possible. Hahahaha. Refreshing and without pretense. And for these boards, not even overly negative!!

 

[Irishguy42]

I will make up the difference for him with my intake during games.

This did not help so far and it's been only 1 game. Please help.

Only in Rongoland.

he gets the puck and then his feet immediately slow down and the play dies 95% of the time. 5% of the time he actually makes a good pass but whoever he passes it to shits themselves because they can't believe the play didn't die already.

I haven't disliked a Rangers player this much since Bruce Driver.

Scouting is like stock market forecasting.

 

[Greschner4]

Laf and Kakko are both passive betas. Don’t have the makeup of elite guys. Time to move on from them.

Rangers got the good ping pong ball luck in bad years. It happens. Pointless to whine about it now.

 

[aufheben]

I remember way before we won the draft lottery I joked that Lafreniere was such a bust sounding name. Still is.

I’ll never take scouting projections seriously again. How do you miss this badly?

[Chaels Arms]

I'm not being facetious or resentful when I say this but I hope Lafreniere has some really smart people in his family or a smart and trustworthy financial advisor. He will make enough in his career to live comfortably but the 8x8 contract everyone was expecting he would get eventually isn't going to come. He's going to have to actually manage his money wisely.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I understand the disappointment but let the dislike go. It doesn't help anything. I was liked that with James Patrick 30 years ago. Now I look back and it feels silly.

 

[rangers1314]

If I see one more possession that ends with him just gliding into the Ozone and firing a cross ice pass above the circles that either gets knocked down or misfires, ill shit myself

Get ready.

No YOU get ready

 

[bleedblue94]

He and Kakko need a full season playing on the 1st or 2nd line and PP. If we dont see marked offensive improvement by the end of this season, then we can accept the reality of them busting. But I want to give them both this season to at least show signs of being capable of handling their own as a Top 6 forward.

And a team that does that with the way they can't score doesn't make the playoffs

 

[ReddestRum]

Watching and waiting for him to produce an offensive chance is like watching a Plinko disc fall into the $10,000 bucket.
