Rangers Secure Alexis Lafrenière with 7-Year, $52.15 Million Extension

The New York Rangers have locked in their former top draft pick, Alexis Lafrenière, with a long-term deal following his breakout season.

Lafrenière's new contract carries a $7.45 million annual cap hit and extends through the 2031-32 season.
The 23-year-old forward achieved career highs with 28 goals and 57 points last season, showcasing significant improvement.
The extension prevents Lafrenière from becoming a restricted free agent next summer, securing his future with the Rangers.
Lafrenière has started the current season strong, maintaining a point-per-game pace in the first seven games.
The contract includes bonuses and an eight-team no-trade list for the final five years, offering both security and flexibility.
