Phil Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Quote New York Rangers restricted free agent Alexis Lafreniere remains without a contract in place for next season, but is confident one will be signed soon. The first overall pick in 2020 is one of 12 remaining unsigned RFAs across the league, with training camps set to open next month. "It's coming," Lafreniere told La Presse of a new deal, per Google Translate. "My agent and the Rangers are in discussions, I hope it will be settled in the next few weeks." Quote "I think my game has improved on both sides of the ice," Lafreniere said. "I would still like to have more offensive production, generate more attack. "You have to be patient. It will come, I think." https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/new-york-rangers-rfa-alexis-lafreniere-confident-new-deal-will-come-soon-1.1995761 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Less concerned about his contract then I am about him actually putting in the work this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 The next few weeks? Training camp is next month, so that would be nice. lol I'm sure it will get done relatively soon, it's just been annoying waiting on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work Shmerk......He is willing it into fruition.... "You have to be patient. It will come, I think." A better comment would be:" I've been training hard all off season, trying to improve my game so I can produce at the level I expect myself to, to help contribute to our team." He even sucks answering press questions .... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) The new contract will actually just be an upgrade to his Dunkin' membership and to be a spokesman that will do commercials. Edited August 14, 2023 by Sharpshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art20c Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Is he implying that there are negotiations still going on between him and the rangers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 He likely wants a trade and circumstances aren't ripe for that. The only way the Rangers trade him or acquiesce to an offer sheet of the type he'd likely command is if it appears as though there is an impasse and unfortunately that likely involves a holdout.

Cash or Czech Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 To put this into context, Trevor Zegras, Jamie Drysdale, Shane Pinto, and a few other high profile RFAs are also unsigned. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 It’s not unusual for them not to get to a guy before a certain point. Then leave to take their planned vacation, and deal with it when they get back. That happens a lot. Literally teams have their entire organizations away on vacation of some sort from late-July into late-August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I really hope this kid makes us all eat shit for calling him Donut boy, Yukon, and every other name in the book. So with that being said, here goes: Hey Chunky! Drop the Boston Creme, put a pen in your fat little fist, and sign your fuckin' name on the dotted line!!! Stop screwing around, and let's get this shit rolling! ....fucking scrub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I honestly don't even want him here anymore. Im pretty confident his icetime will be better suited for Othmann. If it's taking this long there's obviously some sort of holdout, or trade request. We all know where he desires to play. What does Montreal have to offer that suites a current need? This dog and pony show is enough already. He flat out knows his work ethic is going to land him in Laviolettes doghouse. I think they are working on a trade. Its ridiculous to take this long. Fuck him. I'm done. The disappointment continues. Bye fatso. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skunkman Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 so did someone actually walk in and catch him red handed having an orgy with 24 boxes of jelly dounughts?Or is this because of a actual weigh scale ticket? Or are we just pissed at how long we have had to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
