On Jean-Charles Lajoie's show on TVA Sports, there was a poll asking if fans would agree to trade Cole Caufield for Alexis Lafrenière.
Surprisingly, the majority responded yes.
50% answered yes, 30% no, and 20% next question. The result is indeed surprising.
Cole Caufield has 149 points in 205 career games, including 81 goals. Lafrenière has 148 points in 298 games and is a year younger than Cole.
Perhaps Alexis's current playoff performance, with 12 points in 13 games, influences opinions, making this an interesting proposition.
Personally, I love Alexis Lafrenière and have always liked him. I followed him in the QMJHL and even saw him play several times. However, I would never make this trade today.
