Rumours are persistent for Alexis Lafrenière, who doesn't seem to be in the good graces of his new head coach yet. In fact, according to several journalists who cover Rangers activities, Laffy is playing like a player on a professional tryout contract, even going so far as to say that he looks like a tourist on the ice. No doubt about it, the young man is completely lost and a change of scenery could do him a world of good. Will it be in Montreal? According to Guy Carbonneau, contact has already been made between Jeff Gorton and the Rangers. He's convinced of it. If he hasn't phoned the GM in New York, it's because there's no interest in Lafrenière in Montreal. <q> In my opinion, the contact has already been made. Last year, we were talking about the rumors. If they haven't called, that means Jeff Gorton doesn't think Lafrenière is the player they need, but to me, it would be worth contacting the Rangers. - Guy Carbonneau</q> It's certain that the Rangers are expecting a nice return for the Quebecer. Perhaps the CH, like other teams, aren't ready to pay the price. But the Rangers will have to lower their expectations if they hope to trade him, because his value is diminishing by the day. Even so, we're really hoping that Alexis will break through. He's a talented youngster who could blossom at any moment. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Antichambre/status/1710080166758695296?t=LQUd79EFnJ5u1_pdF23M_A&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.gonordiques.com/lnh/nouvelles/Alexis-Lafreniere-avec-le-Canadien-de-Montreal-le-mot-est-en-train-de-se-passer' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Credit: Go Nordiques</a>
