The New York Rangers have had an incredible start to the 2023-24 season, and with their eyes set on a Stanley Cup run, a recent report has emerged with a shocking revelation. <h2>New York tried to move Alexis Lafreniere?</h2> A report from The Hockey Writers has revealed that the team were potentially looking to move Lafreniere ahead of this season, but ultimately, his career turnaround has swayed that opinion. <q>There had to have been a point where they thought about moving Lafreniere to give him a fresh start.</q> Although he is just 22-years of age with a very bright future ahead of him, he hadn't adapted to the NHL game the way many had expected or hoped, and it appears as though they were going to sell low on him to give him a fresh start. <h2>Has New York pivoted to extending the former top pick?</h2> After a career high of 39 points a season ago, Lafreniere has taken a big step forward in 2023-24, and is on pace for over 50 this season, and now, it appears they're ready to extend him for several more years. <q>When looking at what Lafreniere could get on his next deal, I wouldn't be surprised to see him earn a four to five-year extension worth between $5-5.75 million per season.</q> Whether or not he's worth a deal like that right now is a question that the Rangers will need to answer, but if he continues to improve the way that he has this season, there's no doubting that one day, he has the potential to live up to the billing of a No. 1 overall pick.
