Lafreniere is expected to break out this season and could significantly influence the Rangers' offensive production, especially alongside Artemi Panarin.

Lafreniere's name has emerged in trade talks, particularly if the Rangers can’t effectively deal Miller. His status as a young forward makes him a valuable asset for potential trades.

The Ducks are interested in acquiring Lafreniere, who has shown significant talent but faced challenges last season. His addition could complement the existing young core in Anaheim.

Lafreniere had a down year with 17 goals and 28 assists, leading to trade speculation. At 24, he fits the Canadiens' young core and could significantly enhance their scoring ability if acquired.

Alexis Lafreniere, drafted first overall in 2020, is another key player in the proposed trade with Slafkovsky. His performance of 45 points this season has led to speculation about his future with the Rangers.
