Fox's better than McAvoy defensively. You must be confusing him for an offensive quarterback because he's better offensively as well.At this point it’s entirely up to what a team needs. If you need defense you have the choice of the steadying force in Mcavoy or a great offensive quarterback in Fox (not saying either of them isn’t great at the others aspect).
Harder to find than a 44 goal scorer?McAvoy for me. He’s already a bona fide #1 and those are hard to come by.

Yeah, let's use advanced stats as an argument against Adam Fox. 10/10 would have such an idea again.

You can go year by year and find players who are incredible for a few seasons and then average out
If he keeps playing this way for another season against the entire league, like McAvoy has, ill be willing to consider it
hes not even 200 games into his career (two full seasons plus playoffs)
Being a #1 defenseman. If you want to judge defenseman by purely points you can do that.
McAvoy actually outscored Fox at 5v5, this year and last year. Fox is incredible on the PP though, I won't take that away from him. But that's the main difference in scoring between the two, Fox gets double the PP time and gets #1 pp minutes on the Rangers, McAvoy doesn't.
Just like last year when Shesterykin should've won the Vezina off of 12 games and was about to be the next Hasek, right?...
Fox isn’t incredible on the PP. He’s had a good two weeks on it, mostly because Zibanejad can now release the puck cleanly off his stick again. The PP is the worst part of Fox’s game.
17 of his 29 points are on the PP. He's pretty damn good on the PP. Only trails Hedman for defenseman PP scoring.

Well, it's not me who brought that stat up by quoting that twitter account. Although I'm sure Fox performs amazingly, whatever the model.The fact that the two NYI defenseman are 2 and 3 in the league strongly suggests there are major entanglement issues with that model.
