F Alexis Lafreniere - Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL (2020 Draft) Part 2

[jj cale]

No there isn't? You are just flat out wrong...

He has an agenda and I am sure you know what it is, take what is being said with a grain of salt.

 

[Andrei79]

Bad skater ? Not a play driver ? These are some of the most absurd prospect takes Ive ever seen.

 

[Snowpants]

Crazy hot takes aside I know it is early but wow amazing to think he is scoring at a better pace than McDavid in his draft year excite to see where he ends up

 

[nbwingsfan]

I see your point, but did you just say that Hall isn’t an elite skater? Oh my.

In straight line speed sure, not a fan of his edge work

 

[WILDTATE10]

MN Wild bound please!!

He has a lot less help on his team than McDavid had in Erie, too.

I’m fully confident that Lafreniére is the best forward prospect since McDavid, and the most promising winger since Ovechkin. I also think that Byfield is looking like he would have not just challenged, but very possibly passed Matthews for first in 2016 and Eichel for second in 2015, and easily surpassed Hischier in 2017 and a Svechnikov in 2018. Such an amazing draft class.

 

[Lt Dan]

Spay for Lafreniére!

 

[JackSlater]

Spay for Lafreniére!

Up in the air for Lafreniere.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Don't care for Lafreniére.

This is the most logical!

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Well, there seems to be some people that think so, but you go ahead being "that person" that hangs out on discussion-forums typing "lol" in your answers like its 1999.

Just to be clear, I didn't see anyone refer to his skating as bad. I think a few of us said he's more of an average/slightly above average skater than the typical great skater you see out of most of the best players in the NHL. His skating isn't any worse than Kakko from the past draft.

 

[Sens72]

5 points tonight. 34 points in 13 games.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Gonna look great in Rangers blue

 

[SympathyForTheDevils]

Lafrenière broke his 10-game multipoint streak last game against Québec, being held scoreless (bust!). Apparently he decided to avenge it this afternoon, with a 5 pts game (1 G, 4 primary As) against the same team.

Had the Alexis Lafrenière hat-trick:
-A nice pass to Paré in front of the net at EV
-A nice pass to Paré in front of the net on the PP
-A nice pass to Paré in front of the net on the PK

Are you by any chance Canadian?

 

[schnapshot]

It’s Alexis Lafrenière’s world, we’re just living in it.

 

[TeddyBare]

So he is chasing Cloutier's record for a 17-18 year old?

216 points.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

What does the posters nationality have to do with it? Just watch him play.

NOT A CHANCE

He won't even hit 160 which is what Guy Chouinard had as 4th for the Quebec Remparts in 73-74

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

Last year his centre had a 22 goal jump from his previous high from 18 to 40. This year his centre already has a career high of 18 besting last year's 17. He makes his entire line so much better, Pare is shooting at 22% mostly because he is being tee'd up in the slot so often.

 

[Dominance]

Are you by any chance Canadian?

Yes, thank God.

Thus, I am obviously right about everything concerning hockey

 

[JLFGoNicsGo11]

NOT A CHANCE

He definitely has a chance for 160

 

[TheBeastCoast]

He definitely has a chance for 160

He is going to miss a full month for the juniors. He will probably be in and around the 50 game mark. 120+ is realistic.

130 lol

He went to the WJC last year and missed only 7 games. Barring injury, he should have around 60 games.
With that said, he shouldn't be expected to continue on that pace. 160 points is a lot; it' s roughly Crosby's totals in his draft year.

If I recall correctly, Crosby actually started slower that year and was "only" averaging like 2ppg at xmas and went on to average like 3 in the 2nd half
