Now’s the time for the Rangers to consider bold Alexis Lafrenière trade

MONTREAL — I’m not sure I would do this — I would need a little more information on the other party — but I am sure that if I were Rangers GM Chris Drury, I would seriously look into it.

I would look into trading Alexis Lafrenière to Anaheim for Trevor Zegras.

This would be the 2020 No. 1 overall for the 2019 No. 9 overall. This would be trading one 23-year-old forward who has not come close to satisfying expectations for another 23-year-old forward who has not come close to satisfying expectations.

Five years into Lafrenière’s career, and six years into that of Zegras, which has been interrupted by a pair of serious injuries, wouldn’t you agree that each player has a greater chance to reach his ceiling by moving to a new zip code?
