Rangers sign former first-overall pick to multi-year deal

According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, the Rangers have signed former first-overall pick Alexis Lafreniere to a two-year contract extension worth $4.65 million ($2.325 million AAV).

Lafreniere, 21, appeared in 81 games for the Rangers last season where he tallied 39 points (16 goals, 23 assists), 33 penalty minutes and was a plus-ten. In seven Stanley Cup Playoff games, he had no points as the Rangers lost in the first round to the New Jersey Devils.
