Alexis Lafreniere and the New York Rangers have agreed on a 7-year contract extension for the first overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The new contract for Lafrenière, 23, will carry a $7.45 million average annual value (AAV) and runs through the 2031-32 season. After three NHL seasons that didn't live up to Lafrenière's lofty draft position, last season was a breakout for the Quebec-born left wing.
Lafrenière had 28 goals and 29 assists (57 points) in 82 games.
