With the New York Rangers waiting to get a glimpse of Lafrenière in a Rangers uniform, what number will he wear?
For hockey stars, a uniform number is important. Everyone knows that Wayne Gretzky was #99. Mario Lemieux wore #66. Sidney Crosby owns #87. Hall of Famer Ray Bourque gave up #7 to Phil Esposito when it was retired by the Bruins and made #77 his own.
