Alexis Lafrenière and the New York Rangers have agreed to a seven-year, $52.15 million extension, per USA Today's Vince Z. Mercogliano.

The reported deal will keep the No. 1 pick of the 2020 NHL draft in New York through his age-30 season in 2031-32.

Lafrenière was previously set to become a restricted free agent following the July expiration of his two-year bridge deal.

The 23-year-old winger recorded a career-high 28 goals and 57 points in 82 games for the Rangers last season.
