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: <q> Lafrenière-Suzuki-Caufield Newhook-Dach-Slafkovsky</q> Let's just say the Habs' attack would be very young, dynamic and talented! <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DLCoulisses/status/1679294121297551361?t=6p38tuX3DKkwR723V_Ar4g&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div>
