## Resource

The New York Rangers are poised for major roster shifts after a playoff-less season, with Alexis Lafreniere’s future hanging in the balance. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman warns that if Lafreniere doesn’t ignite the team’s offense early, he could be traded — though recent improvements and the arrival of Artemi Panarin may finally unlock his potential. Signed to a massive extension in 2024, Lafreniere’s 116 goals and 134 assists in 462 games prove his talent, but consistency remains the key. With Vincent Trocheck gone, the Rangers’ playoff hopes now rest heavily on whether Lafreniere can step up — and fast.
