Alexis Lafrenière and the New York Rangers have reached an agreement on a seven-year contract extension valued at $52.15 million, as reported by Moneyline. This deal secures the No. 1 overall pick from the 2020 NHL Draft through the 2031-32 season, when Lafrenière will be 30 years old.
Prior to the extension, Lafrenière was poised to enter restricted free agency following the conclusion of his two-year bridge deal in July. The 23-year-old winger had a notable performance last season, setting a career high with 28 goals and accumulating 57 points across 82 games for the Rangers.
