We told you yesterday, the New York Rangers made the decision, Wednesday night, to scratch forward Alexis Lafreniere. (1st overall pick in 2020)
Lafreniere is going through a difficult sequence right now, he has no points in his last eight games, even if he gets quality minutes in the offensive zone with good players.
Admittedly, the idea of a Lafreniere - Suzuki - Caufield trio is dreamy, and they really could be dominant, together, for a very long time. However, the chances of that happening are still slim, in my opinion.
But, let's ask the question (for entertainment purposes): Alexis Lafreniere vs. the CH's 2022 first round pick, would you do it?
