The Dude Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I forget. Can Lafrenières contract be heavily incentive laden? Could this be a hold up? I'd respect the fat fuck a lot more if he took a low base salary and agreed to some incentive bonus type stuff to make his money. Giving the team some cap flexibility this year and paying the bonuses on next seasons larger cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving the team some cap flexibility this year and paying the bonuses on next seasons larger cap. No He does not meet the qualifications for performance bonuses and incentives. CBA allows for those things under only 3 conditions: 1) Player is on an ELC. 2) Player is over age 35 and signing a 1-year contract. 3) Player has signed 1-year contract after returning from a long-term injury (has played more than 400 games, and spent 100 or more days on IR in the last year of their most recent contract). That’s it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another positive. Over the last three seasons: If you wanna feel shitty though, Jack Hughes has 64 even strength goals during this time. Stutzle 48. Byfield 7.

Sharpshooter Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Not only is he not very good, but his attitude really sucks too and he's lazy. The worst first overall pick of all time (for right now anyway) forever linked to the New York Rangers. Embarrassing.

jsm7302 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 The only saving grace here is he was the consensus number 1 and they didn't go off the board with this pick. I bet he is waiting to see if they make more cap space room before pre season starts. Drury may be shopping someone and telling him to stand by.

jsm7302 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 What makes the Laf pick even more acceptable besides being the consensus #1. If they traded down to get Byfield (at a position of weakness for this roster), we would be crucifying the org SOOOO HARRDDD for the past few years.

If they traded down to get Byfield (at a position of weakness for this roster), we would be crucifying the org SOOOO HARRDDD for the past few years. The Kings drafted Byfield knowing that he wasn’t NHL ready. The whole league had that book on him. Everyone pretty much said he would need to grow into that massive frame and that he was very talented, but also very raw. Great physical attributes, high skill, but almost no refinement. There was some talk that he might even go back to Junior for 20-21, and if not that, he’d certainly be in the AHL to start. Which is where he ended up. He was tagged as needing 2, perhaps even part of 3 seasons from being a full-time NHL’er from the beginning. Spent almost all of 20-21 in the A, as they pretty much knew he would. 21-22 I believe he fractured his ankle early on, and missed a few months, then went to the A for a while and didn’t play in LA till like January or February. It was not a good year for him and he really struggled. Then he got demoted to the A early last year after starting the season with the Kings, but really lit it up in the month or so he was down there. Looking like he’s here to stay now. But who knows how long till he starts producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody will give us bottom first round pick for him let alone top 10. They can't trade him, who will we pick on if he isn't on the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 Quote What is taking so long with the Lafrenière contract? — Will R. Before we start thinking about any theories — and neither Laf’s agent nor the Rangers have said anything about the contract talks, so they would all be theories at this point — let me point out that Kaapo Kakko signed his bridge deal on July 28 of last year and there are still half a dozen unsigned players in the same boat as Lafrenière, including Trevor Zegras and Evan Bouchard. So this is not completely unique. It may be that Laf’s camp is hoping for something wild (offer sheet) to happen or that the hold-up is over one year vs. two years. Or it’s just not a top-line priority for either side since it doesn’t appear that Lafrenière is going anywhere. We could hear something to the contrary in the next few weeks and if he’s still unsigned as players start arriving back in New York ahead of training camp next month, then you can start to worry a bit. Until then, it doesn’t appear as though anything is out of the ordinary. https://theathletic.com/4746215/2023/08/03/rangers-alexis-lafreniere-contract-peter-laviolette-coaching-staff-rookies/?campaign=5888993&source=dailyemail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Read today if a team offer sheets Donut Hole to anything under 4.19M that the Rangers would only get a 2nd round pick if they don't match it. Doubt he gets an offer sheet now, it probably would've happened already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Annual Average Value (AAV) Compensation $1,386,490 or below No compensation $1,386,491 to $2,100,742 Third-round pick $2,100,743 to $4,201,488 Second-round pick $4,201,489 to $6,302,234 First-round pick and third-round pick $6,302,235 to $8,402,979 First-round pick and second-round pick $8,402,980 to $10,503,724 Two first-round picks $10,503,725 or more Four first-round picks I don't know that he's worth a 2nd rounder to another team. I'd take one for him. Edited August 4, 2023 by Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I thought I read the Rangers would get access to a second buyout window if Lafreniere got offer sheeted and they matched it, but I can’t find anything about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 The Rangers would get access to a second buyout window due to Brandon Scanlin electing arbitration, not due to offer sheet. Scanlin re-signed recently, so I think that window now closes. My best guess is if Lafreniere was offer sheeted today, the team would get the standard window to match or walk. I forget what it is, seven days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget what it is, seven days? It shouldn't take them 7 minutes to decide. If he signs a sheet, it means he's OK playing elsewhere. Let him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
