The first day of Rangers training camp brought the first look at No. 1 overall draft pick Alexis Lafreniere with the full team, and if the 19-year-old’s new teammates are to be believed, fans are going to enjoy watching the native of Saint-Eustache, Quebec, play this season.

"You forget how young he is, because he carries himself with such maturity,’’ forward Chris Kreider said of Lafreniere on Monday, after the team’s first on-ice workouts.
