It’s ASK THE MAVEN time and our question comes southward from Amherst, New York. Freddie Mueller offers this query:

“IN THE UPCOMING RANGERS HOUSECLEANING – APART FROM VINCENT TROCHECK –  WHO WILL BE THE NEXT PLAYER TO BE MOVED?”

MAVEN’S REPLY: Alexis Lafrenière – for a few reasons:

1. He’s young.

2. He needs a change of scenery.

3. Once outside of New York, he’ll thrive.

4. He’s playing his best hockey right now. Out of 31 other teams, there’s a dozen out there willing to gamble on him.
