Kent Hughes could put the Rangers in trouble, and it involves Alexis Lafrenière
If you think Alexis Lafrenière's future lies in New York, think again. The Rangers are more vulnerable than ever to an offer sheet, and the Habs are in a position to make one.
In fact, the Blue Shirts have only 2.3 million on their payroll. An offer sheet similar to Jesperi Kotkaniemi's $6 million would be virtually impossible for them to match within 7 days.
If Kent Hughes decides to go this route, he's sure to make some enemies in New York, but he'll be able to formalize his top-six attack for years to come, along with some promising young players.
Just imagine Martin St-Louis' first two trios:
Lafrenière-Suzuki-Caufield
Newhook-Dach-Slafkovsky
Newhook-Dach-Slafkovsky
Let's just say the Habs' attack would be very young, dynamic and talented!
