Lafreniere - Superstar?

[StanStanley]

Hi, what can we expect from Lafreniere? Is he a bust? Everybody was so high on him...

He is still available in my draft. Can you rank these young forwards and young defensemen for long term in a point only league?

Forwards
Lafreniere
Jarvis
Rossi
Beniers
Lundell
Newhook

Defensemen
Power
Drysdale
Byram
Boqvist

Thanks for your help!

Laffy - I'd have expected more, but he's still got time.

F - Laffy, Jarvis, Beniers, Newhook, Rossi, Lundell
D - Byram will be better sooner, but long term it'll be Power and Drysdale over him, with Boqvist in last only because someone has to be, and if he gets traded he could explode

[StanStanley]

Thanks for your advice. My pick is coming. Other advices would be appreciate.

Does Laffy can play right wing? Do you think a Panarin-Zibanejad-Laffy line is something possible?

NYR have resisted Panarin and Zibs at ES, which is actually good for Laffy since he is more likely to play with one of them, versus the possibility of zero.

I agree except switch Drysdale with Byram. Good luck

So, people are still high on Lafreniere. Everybody put him first.

still only just turning 21 when the puck drops, gonna be a wait, how long who knows but I am hoping for .5 ppg this campaign.

.5 ppg is bad for a 3rd year 1st overall. Do you think he could become a ppg player?

sure and one who's arrival came in the midst of a hundred years pandemic to derail development but yes in time when he's the likes of 23/24.

Look at the first two years of stats for Barkov and Jack Hughes for comparison. I realize that's a small sample size, but it is encouraging. Then again, Laffy's first two years of stats put his closest comparable to the extremely forgetable Guilliame Latandresse, so there's that.
