With Alexis Lafreniere currently injured on Saturday, we still don’t know how long the Quebec native will be out. The knee injury he suffered had to scare the New Jersey Devils, who are looking for the number-one overall pick.
However, he’s a young man and this probably won’t hurt or change the outlook of his stock price going into 2020. He already has one goal and three assists. Lafreniere did display in the USA game that if you try to double him up tight, he still finds ways to find the open man. He’s proven to be a lethal and very hard to contain playmaker, and wouldn’t be surprised if he gets compared to Sidney Crosby at his age.
