Overpayment 8M is overwhelming for this guy

Takes like this are a hockey IQ test.

1) Contracts are up.

2) He has excellent even strength production the last two years and just doesn't see PP 1 time. And he's been rapidly improving since the end of last season.

I just looked at the data if you include last season (regular season and playoffs) and so far this season Laf has 34 even strength points in his last 38 games. That's almost half a regular season and that's almost 0.9 even strength points per game. He's been improving in this area exponentially and has a ton of room to grow.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Give him a break, he's just jealous that despite being a f***ing all-star and getting 50in07 he never made 8m AAV. Poor Dany doesn't get inflation.

Lafreniere will hit jackpot if he's smart enough to get to RFA. Everybody knows Rangers in caphell

He’s on a winning team in NYC. If the Rangers are willing to meet his number, then why wouldn’t he sign? I suppose he could roll the dice on his health and stats with his fingers crossed. Let me guess, this extremely rare scenario will see him signing in Montreal. The Rangers would make cap space before letting him walk out the door.

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.

Lafreniere is going to get serious overpayment if he gets to RFA. You're the one who doesn't know what to hey talking about. There's nothing with what I said.

Teams will bid high to keep Rangers from matching. They easily give up bunch of late first for former first overall. He will get 10 million all day long, maybe go 12 million.

Rangers have Shesterkin will go for 12 million. That's 14 million in increases in those two alone. Miller, Chytil, Tempe are all up for increases also. You looking at 20 million increase. Trouba they can't move.

These 3 points show you have no idea what your taking about. Rangers are not in cap hell as you seem to think.

Lafreniere will get paid and $8m x 8Y is fair. He will not make it to RFA.

Trouba has a 12-team no trade list next season if required. He didn't leave this year due to his wife having an extra year on her hospital residency. If he is traded next season, it wouldnt be an issue.

Chytil is under contract for the next 2 seasons. Rempe will cost league minimum.

If Trouba leaves, that will give NYR $37m in space. Say Shesty & Laf sign for $20m. That leaves around $17m to sign Miller, Kakko & Cuylle these will cost around $11m-$13m.

Lindgren may be the only questionable player as to whether he is re-signed.

Rangers in caphell be worse if they win cup. At draft Habs offer their pick for Lafreniere? Extended 10 million per x 7

Be around 5. Looking at Misa, McQueen or Spence type
 
I think this would be a fantastic deal. I think he has the potential to be a perennial 30+ goal 70+ point guy, and this deal would take him through his prime.

If NYR wins the cup I don't care about what cap hell this brings.

Interesting to see what they agree with, Lafreniere's progress has been insane and is still going. Seems like a dude who wants to improve as much as possible and is willing to work his ass off.

Longer it goes the higher the price if Laf keeps producing. The Igor situation is probably handcuffing a deal right now.

In a worst-case scenario (which I sincerely doubt), they could buy out Trouba and let Lindgren walk.

Problem solved. Trouba likely gets dealt in the offseason, but if that's not on the table and they become desperate then they could do it. They'd certainly let Lindgren walk before losing AL. They could also move Kakko for a pick(s).

They have some flexibility if they really need it.

There's also risk for AL if he were to get injured. My guess is they come to agreement on a 6 or so year deal, then he gets one more big payday after that assuming he stays the course.

Retaining 50% would be the better option as it doesn't come with a year 2 cap hit of 2M in dead cap. They probably wouldn't need to retain 50% but even if so that's better than a buyout. I'm sure there's somebody not on that list that will bite at that price.
 
lol this guy was 6 months from being called the biggest bust of the century. His playoff performance last year got him this contract.
