Major Trade Proposal Involving Alexis Lafreniere
Since he was drafted as the first overall pick in 2020, Alexis Lafrenière hasn't quite lived up to the high expectations placed on him.
In 216 games with the Rangers, he has scored 91 points.
Now, a major trade proposal has emerged, and it has the potential to revive his career.
Mock Trade: Lafrenière Goes Home
This scenario sends Lafrenière to the Montreal Canadiens alongside Barclay Goodrow, in return for Josh Anderson.
Let's face it; it's hard for Lafrenière to crack the Rangers' top 6 right now. The lineup boasts a lot of talented forwards, leaving him on the third line most of the time.
In Montreal, he could get way more ice-time with good players like Nick Suzuki and Kirby Dach.
Moreover, he would be coming home.
Major Changes in Both Teams
The Habs would have to take on Goodrow and the remaining four seasons of his $21,850,000 contract.
He's a reliable bottom-6 player and would add a lot of depth to the Habs' lineup.
However, Kent Hughes would have to ship Josh Anderson, a fan-favorite and highly sought-after player. He has had many offers for him in the past and has refused them all. Is Lafrenière enough to convince him?
On the Rangers' side, they signed Goodrow only two years ago for six seasons, so it would also be tough to let him go.
Let's not forget that Montreal's President of Hockey Operations is Jeff Gorton, the Rangers' former GM, who drafted Lafrenière!
