Alexis Lafreniere

I believe he's a LW so which of these is he clearly an upgrade over:

Buch
Holloway
Neighbours
Bolduc

Well depends. How many jerseys has he sold? He is a #1 overall after all.

Based on that last part alone, I am convinced he would put us over the top.

I will bet the Rangers arent trading him--so there is that. Hes just coming into his own. Hes better than Neighbours and Bolduc.
We dont really need help at Left wing though. Id rather focus on short term veteran contracts to fill in center or right d.

Based on what they are paid, I’d much rather have Bolduc and Neighbours next year than Lafreniere. Laf also skates about as fast as Sundqvist does.
