Gerard Gallant made a few heads turn when he decided to bench Alexis Lafrenière . This went over with the fans about as well as you would think, as his replacement was much maligned Sammy Blais. Parking Blais and his play aside, I thought it would be worth a quick dive into possible issues surrounding Lafrenière and why he may have gotten singled out, despite most of the roster coming out flat against the Washington Capitals.
Now I know I covered many of Lafrenière’s issues last season, most of which haven’t been corrected.
