Since the start of the preseason calendar, the first overall pick in the 2020 draft has been the focus of discussions among the Rangers. His game on the ice was heavily criticized.
Popular columnist Larry Brooks did not hesitate to make rude statements about the former member of the Rimouski Oceanic organization in a text in the newspaper New York Post Published Thursday.
” [Le problème]It’s not that Lafreniere didn’t look like a first-round draft pick poised for a big season, he wrote. What’s more is that, most of the time, he looked like a player invited to a camp or tryout. Before being demoted to Hartford last weekend, 2020 sixth-round pick Matt Rempe made a more positive impression. »
Lafrenière collected just one assist in four exhibition games. Last year, he had the best season of his career, scoring 16 goals and 23 assists for 39 points in 81 games.
