Trade rumours are starting to surface with the Rangers forward.
Journalist Brian Wilde has a trade proposal: Lafreniere for the Panthers' first pick in the upcoming draft that belongs to the Habs.
Would you do Lafreniere for the Habs first round pick that is Florida's (meaning the NYR could win the lottery)- Brian Wilde (@BWildeMTL) December 28, 2022
It's a fun question isn't it? Probably reveals more about a person's personality than anything. Because is this an 11 pick or a 1 pick? Even though it is presently a 3% chance at a 1 pick.
Then of course is this AL slow start NYR fault or his?
Fun. 👍😀- Brian Wilde (@BWildeMTL) December 28, 2022
Keep in mind that the Panthers' first pick will almost certainly be a top-10 pick, and this draft has some outstanding players.
But Lafreniere is only in his third NHL season, so he still has time to develop into a great player.
Imagine Lafreniere alongside Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki! He could be the player the Tricolore needs to complete their top line.
