Rangers forward is confident he can make the top six with position change

The New York Rangers are kicking off their 2023 training camp, which will lead directly into the pre-season beginning on September 26th against Boston. One of the key storylines heading into training camp is Alexis Lafreniere’s confirmed testing on the right wing rather than the left.

This transition comes with great significance regarding the young star’s future, and both Lafreniere and the Rangers are confident it can be executed. In order to make the most of his new two-year bridge deal, the youngest of the “kids” must elevate his game and find success on the right wing.
