Seven more years on Broadway! It’s gotta feel great!

The No. 1 pick of the 2020 NHL Draft, left wing Alexis Lafrenière agreed on a seven-year contract extension Friday with the New York Rangers.

The 23-year-old’s fresh deal features an average annual value (AAV) of $7.45 million, per ESPN, and will last until the end of the 2031-32 campaign. (RELATED: Florida Panthers Reward Paul Maurice With Contract Extension After Delivering First Stanley Cup In Franchise History)

Lafrenière didn’t meet the hype in his first three seasons in the NHL, however, 2023-24 ended up being a breakout year for the Canadian.

In 82 games, Lafrenière tallied 28 goals and 29 assists to record a total of 57 points. His performance was incredible during New York‘s run in the postseason, one that would see them get all the way to the Eastern Conference finals before ultimately losing to the Florida Panthers. In 16 games in the playoffs, Lafrenière had 14 points, and on top of that, he was tied for first on the team in goals (8) with center Vincent Trocheck.

I know there was some doubt around Alexis Lafrenière, but he’s progressively gotten better with each passing year. It was only a matter of time before he finally exploded into stardom. And it’s not even just last year’s showing, he’s already displaying his greatness this year as well — four goals and three assists in seven games.

Hell, my man is even doing the best he’s ever done in his career with an ice time of 17.51 per game.

A deal needed to happen, and that it did. Congratulations to Alexis for landing the bag.
