After what seemed like months of waiting, the New York Rangers have reportedly agreed to terms with pending RFA Alexis Lafreniere. Coming off of his entry-level contract, Lafreniere was expected to re-sign with New York shortly after the 2022-2023 concluded. The deal took a bit longer than expected to finalize, but the two sides have finally come to terms on an agreement.
