Alexis Lafreniere on upcoming draft
Lafreniere on the draft and the Rangers holding the #1 pick, “It’s coming pretty soon, and for sure the Rangers are a really big organization, and a really good young team,” he responded. “So we’ll see what happens, but it’s a really exciting team for sure.”
Lafreniere has also said in previous interviews that he’s a fan of Panarin’s game. So when asked about playing with him he answered. “Maybe having the chance to play with him, it would be an honor,” Lafreniere said. “It would be special for me and I would try to learn as much as I can from him.”
Panarin….the enforcer?
Speaking of Artemi Panarin, he posted a video on his Instagram of him training in the ring. Maybe he wants to take on the NHL heavyweights.
