Alexis Lafreniere - Inks seven-year contractLafreniere has signed a seven-year, $52.15 contract extension with the Rangers on Friday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
ImpactLafreniere's $7.45 annual cap hit, which will begin with the 2025-26 campaign, has the potential to look like a steal for the Rangers in the years to come. Although Lafreniere was taken with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, he had a quiet start to his NHL career, failing to reach the 40-point milestone in any of his first three campaigns. However, Lafreniere took a major step forward in the 2023-24 regular season with 28 goals and 57 points in 82 outings and excelled further in the 2024 playoffs, providing eight goals and 14 points across 16 appearances. Lafreniere has followed up that breakout campaign with a strong start to 2024-25, collecting four goals and seven points through seven outings. Still just 23 years old, Lafreniere seems to be starting to live up to the high standard of being a No. 1 overall selection.

Dmitry Kulikov - Chips in with helperKulikov notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
ImpactKulikov picked up his second point of the campaign when he helped out on a Sam Bennett tally. The 33-year-old Kulikov has seven shots on net, 21 hits, six blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-1 rating through nine appearances. He's more of a shutdown defenseman and is paired with Niko Mikkola, who plays a similar game. Kulikov could be useful in banger leagues, but he doesn't offer much offense.
