This is the kind of video that makes Sens fans very happy 😃
Sabres fan too.
dudes a bust
What a bust
Laf to MTL 🥰
Bust!
To Red Wings fans who are still upset about losing the 2020 draft lottery: what if the New York Rangers offered Yzerman a simple one-for-one trade of Lafreniere for Raymond? Would you want Yzerman to take that trade? I wouldn't, but I will leave two voting replies below so you can answer by liking the one you agree with.
If we had won the 2020 draft lottery, it is always possible that Yzerman would have gone off-script like he did with Seider, but if not then we would now have Lafreniere instead of Raymond.
Ironically, both of the last two times that the Red Wings had the #4 overall pick, the player we selected turned out to be better than the one we had originally wanted, but who wasn't available at #4.
I think they should trade Alexis Lafreniere well he still has value before it's too late
Flyers fans get no love anywhere 😢
Alexis Laughreniere
trade him to montreal for a 3rd round pick
I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank the New York rangers for not selecting Tim Stützle first overall. I also wish to thank the NHL for doing us a favour by pushing our Pick back to three in 2020.
Rangers fan here. No need to hide: Alexis Lafrenière is a bust. Laf's skating is bottom of league level. Not only he has the speed of a slug, his shiftiness and mobility are horrendous. His big body allowed him to dominate vs. 140 lbs kids in LHJMQ, but his game doesn't translate at NHL level. Watching him play and try to keep up with the speedy devils was hilariously pathetic. Rangers fans need to stop making excuses and say it's only a confidence issue and that Jack Hughes development was similar. #13 and #86 have nothing in common: speed, agility, puck control, scoring touch, deception, hockey IQ… you name it. I'm extremely worried because the league is only going to get faster and I don't see where Lafrenière could contribute as a valuable asset. Especially in big games & playoffs where the game gets harder and faster.
alexis bustfreniere
busttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
bratt hischer hughes zero also
More responsibility and maybe a change of scenery for him…
Really like the way he plays, unfortunately just product of crowded rangers top 6, would love to have him on my team if I was an NHL GM tho, physical player
I would still probably pick him up for a 2nd and a 3rd line roster player. The Rangers should have moved on from him him a year ago while his price was still a first rounder+.
More then a few devils fans, we are ninja’s 🥷 we lurk in the background and dont comment much
To be fair, Lafreniere went to a team with vets ready to make the playoffs off the jump and normally 1st Overall Pick caliber guys like Laf go to a rebuilding team that won’t see the playoffs in the next handful of yrs and just plays top line minutes to develop no matter how bad they are in the standings like Tim Stutzle. Both Laf & Byfield went to Teams with vets who pushed for playoffs immediately and were all over the lineup but never really had a consistent Top 6 role to develop like Tim Stutzle. LA even set up Byfield for failure putting him on LW & made it known he wants go back to his natural position that’s why I’m not hitting the panic button on these guys. If one of Laf or QB were in OTT right now I promise you they’d have impressive numbers but they went to a different situation compared to Stutzle who I like a lot as well. I wouldn’t hit the panic button.
slow slug lumbering skater …enter armweak blues gm for low hanging fruit ..blues can turn him into a grinder
I wonder how hockey compares to other pro sports? I.e. what % of top 5 picks fall short vs other leagues…
I am just hoping this is the motivation Laffy needs to do some serious off-season conditioning and skating. He is a tough player but gets winded too easily.
You misspelled LaBustiere.
Byfield, are you kidding me.
First line minutes playing with two of the kings best players has been a total failure both offensively and defensively as well.
4 points ?
Garbage goal late in the game in which they were routed.
Both Laffy and Byfield are both total busts.
Numbers reg season 2 goals legit and an empty net goal.
Once again 1st line minutes and quite a bit of power play time.
And he and elder tied for goals.
Worst 1 and 2 picks in years
As someone who is totally absolutely a Rangers fan I think he is hopeless we should trade him to Montreal for a 5th and Mike Hoffman's contract that would be a good deal. "Insert a reference that convinces you I'm a Rangers fan" go Rangers go
Devils fan here btw , enjoy your channel … and you’re talking about a 1st overall draft pick, no need to explain why your doing it 😊
That is true. he hasn't made the leap. The rangers added Kane and Tarasenko because they didn't have a middle of the line-up.
I'd trade Kakko and still hope to make something of Lafreniere. Because they don't have a lot of choices. Expected goal percentage. I think Auston Matthews had the worlds greatest Goals above expected when the Leafs lost to the habs in seven games a couple years back. Unfortunately he wasn't that good and the team lost. This stat you keep using , I donna think it means what you think it means.
His skating is garbage. He relieved every Devils fan whenever the puck was on his stick during the playoff series because we knew he would do nothing with it. With that said if he's smart he will do everything in his power to get out of New York if he wants to not be a career 3rd line player.
