Lafreniere hasn't lived up to the hype in 'The Big Apple' and a change of scenery could definitely benefit the 21-year-old, with Vancouver being a prime destination for his services because his age fits in with what General Manager Patrik Allvin is trying to build.
In a recent article on Bleacher Report regarding landing spots for Canucks forward Brock Boeser, it's suggested that the Rangers could be a fit and that Alexis Lafreniere could be apart of the return.
Boeser has two more years on his contract, which is better for the Rangers than trying to add a rental player, but in order to get a potential deal done, the Blueshirts would need to clear cap space to accommodate his $6.65 million AAV salary. As part of any deal, the Canucks would have to either take on a Rangers player with a higher salary or retain a portion of Boeser's deal.
In 216 career games in the National Hockey League so far, Lafreniere has 91 points (47 goals, 44 assists), 78 penalty minutes and is a plus-five.
