Now’s the time for the Rangers to consider bold Alexis Lafrenière trade
NY Post
MONTREAL — I’m not sure I would do this — I would need a little more information on the other party — but I am sure that if I were Rangers GM Chris Drury, I would seriously look into it.
I would look into trading Alexis Lafrenière to Anaheim for Trevor Zegras.
This would be the 2020 No. 1 overall for the 2019 No. 9 overall. This would be trading one 23-year-old forward who has not come close to satisfying expectations for another 23-year-old forward who has not come close to satisfying expectations.
Five years into Lafrenière’s career, and six years into that of Zegras, which has been interrupted by a pair of serious injuries, wouldn’t you agree that each player has a greater chance to reach his ceiling by moving to a new zip code?

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
