The New York Rangers recently re-signed Alexis Lafreniere to a two-year contract extension, ending a summer-long struggle to reach a deal with the young forward. As a former first-overall draft pick, Lafreniere has had a rocky start to his career, causing many fans to question his status as a full-time player on the Rangers.
This two-year extension should solidify his position on the team for the time being, but Lafreniere should not get too comfortable just yet. Heading into the 2023-24 season, he still has a lot to prove.
