Alexis Lafreniere’s Rangers payday is a reward for everyone involved
NY Post
It always resonated with me that even when Alexis Lafreniere was going through his most disappointing days through the first three years of his career, the first-overall pick of the 2020 draft was always so popular among his teammates.
The Rangers have had a veteran room for a long time.
Had there been an iota of truth to the smears and allegations on social media about Lafreniere not caring and about Lafreniere drinking away his summers, he would have been run out of the room.
Instead, though, one veteran after another would tell you how special a teammate and talent Lafreniere was, how they could see it every day at the rink, how they appreciated his attitude, humor and work ethic.
Maybe the Rangers didn’t mess this up, after all.
