We reported yesterday that things have been really bad for Alexis Lafrenière lately, as everything indicated that the Quebecer would be used on the fourth line of the New York Rangers for tonight's game. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Marqueur/status/1608221250991554561'> </a></blockquote></div> However, it finally seems to be even worse than we thought, as Lafreniere will not be in uniform for the game. He'll be <i>healthy scratched</i> by his coach Gerard Gallant. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NYP_Brooksie/status/1608504346521792514'> </a></blockquote></div> Already, many analysts and pundits felt that the situation was festering between the New York organization and its first overall pick in 2020, it looks like we just reached another level. This is a huge disservice to the 21-year-old, who is still slow to establish himself with the Rangers, with only five goals and 17 points in 36 games. Is it possible that a divorce will soon take place between the Rangers and Lafreniere? It's a real possibility, especially since he still has a high value among NHL teams. Many rumors mention that he could be the centerpiece of a potential trade involving star player Patrick Kane. This will be an issue to watch in the coming weeks, but a divorce is looking more and more obvious between the <i>Blueshirts</i> number 13 and the team that drafted him not even three years ago.
