Player Discussion Adam Fox

[will1066]

Next meaning like 10 years from now? Bc Kreider, Panarin, and Trouba are here for a long time

Ugh

 

[Synergy27]

When do we start talking about locking Fox up long term?

The moment you put this comment put.

I'd go $6.5m x 8 years right now and not blink.

He might end up commanding more money than that at this rate.

 

[Smart Alek]

He might end up commanding more money than that at this rate.

That was my initial thought as well, but it's really anyone's guess what the long term ramifications of COVID will be. 6.5 million might just be the new 9 million.

There's no way the Rangers aren't thinking of locking him up long term asap

They probably are, but first need the dead cap space to come off the books. Then they need to figure out if they are paying ZBad or another top line center

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Yea..I'm going to bring this up...If Fox continues to play like he is, ends up the season with 45-5o points, while still playing 24 minutes of amazing hockey a game, he will be in the top 3 for the Norris...

IMO you pay him regardless of the center situation. He's 22 and he's a #1 D with room to grow. If you can extend him after this season do iiiiiiiiitttttttttttttt, he's not gonna get cheaper

 

[CasusBelli]

So how do we get rid of Artemi so we can sign him? We don’t have the defensive depth to get rid of Trouba, and ADA doesn’t clear enough, considering we’d also need to sign KK and Chytil to more lucrative contracts.

Not too concerned about having to pay Kakko a lucrative contract at this point.
As for Fox, he should be locked up ASAP. 6.5x8 would be an incredible deal.

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

Even when we lose. I still love this man. So consistent and so good. Graceful! Beautiful! Thank you Adam!!!! You give me hope.

I am not disagreeing. I just think that first they need the dead cap space to come off and then look at overall budget to see how much they can allocate to him.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Me in October 2019: “Fox could become a good middle pairing guy for us.”

Me in February 2020: “Fox could actually become a top pairing defenseman”

Me in January 2021: “Fox is already a top pairing defenseman”

Me now: “Fox is like a top 10 defenseman in the league today”

Best defenseman we’ve had since Brian Leetch. Only guy that touches him is prime McD and Fox is like nearly there lol.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think its time to pair Miller-Fox and just play them for 35 minutes.

 

[aufheben]

They’re both going to anchor pairings for 5-10 years.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I want to have two good pairings, not just one.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I don't hate Lindgren-Trouba as a 2nd option?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I don't hate Lindgren-Trouba as a 2nd option?

I'd rather have one top talent and puck moving D-man on each pairing.

It's refreshing to hear the Pierre's and other NBC shills "salivate" (keeping this a family website but you know what I WANT to say) over someone in a NYR sweater like they do for Crosby.

I say something out loud about him and then seconds later Pierre says it and my fiancée just laughs and I say "See! I told you!"

 

[Kords]

Played such an unreal game today (every game). We are so lucky to have this kid, he's legitimately elite.

I'll be honest Pierre was annoying today about Adam Fox but he was great.

 

[Priorae]

You can tell mentally he's at a different level. The way he processes and decides is first rate. Entry level deal year 2 and locked in. About as good a situation as the rangers could hope for.

Pierre just released his new Power Rankings:

1. Adam Fox
2. Sidney Crosby
3. Gary Bettman
4. Ah-line Vigneault
