In 2020, where the strangest outcomes are the most common, the New York Rangers won a special phase 2 of the NHL entry draft and thereby will pick first in the upcoming draft that is scheduled for October. The more than likely first-round pick will be a junior hockey sensation, Alexis Lafreniere. Many people know that he is how good, but just how good can Lafreniere be?
The New York Rangers are getting a superstar in the making
The first bit of good news occurred on Wednesday when Bob McKenzie of TSN reported that Lafreniere will not go to Europe or stay in Quebec but instead report to the Rangers when training camps are expected to resume for the 2020-21 season in November.
