To say “Finally” is unfair. It took him 3 seasons and a whopping total of just over 200 games to figure it out at the ripe old age of 22. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how many games it took, for the first three seasons he showed very, very little compared to other 1OA.

Laf showed some talent in previous seasons to give hope, just not with enough frequency. He needed to improve physically for the talent to be better showcased with more frequency, and we talked about it all summer long. He did that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Quote Trocheck, who signed with the Rangers going into the 2022-23 season, liked Lafrenière as soon as he got to New York. He said his teammate has layers to his game; he’s offensively skilled but also willing to forecheck and play with physicality, as he showed when he separated Vincent Iorio from a puck with a big hit in Game 1 against Washington, leading to a Rangers goal. Trocheck pushed to skate on a line with the skilled younger player last season, but then-coach Gerard Gallant normally put Lafrenière with Kaapo Kakko and Filip Chytil. https://theathletic.com/5442825/2024/04/25/rangers-alexis-lafreniere-nyr-vs-wsh?source=user-shared-article ## Gallant, the fucking mastermind at it again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
