Seravalli: Lafreniere and Rangers working 8-year deal worth more than $8 million AAV

[pld459666]

Lafreniere would be an idiot not to test RFA. Cost him 20+ milliim over next 7 years. Former first overall pick and Rangers in caphell. Many teams be bidding high on him.

Rangers can't match because between him and Sher it be 13-14 million increase. Then they have increases to Miller, Tempe and Chyil. Trouba going no where, he has full NMC and loves NY.

In order for him to miss out on 20 million over 7 years, a team would have to offer him 12 million per assuming the Rangers are offering a flat 8 per over 8 years.

If the NYR'S go to 8.75 per, someone will have to offer close to 13 per, McJesus and Nate territory

Who's going to do that??

lol this guy was 6 months from being called the biggest bust of the century. His playoff performance last year got him this contract.

Last season he was tied for 39th in even strength points and tied for 15th in even strength goals. Despite this, he played less minutes than everyone higher than him in goals and everyone higher than him but 2 in points. What he’s doing with limited minutes and powerplay time is absurd, he has 6 points in 6 games still without a powerplay point this year. This kid is still primed to explode once his usage goes up.
