He's our Derek Jeter.
Not great at any one thing or measurable. Elite where it matters.
YOU KNOW THE VIBES
Jeter was an elite hitter contact hitter, abysmal defensively, and very charismatic.

abysmal? you talking about 38 year old Jeter? I'm talking about prime winning 4 WS Jeter.
He was always bad defensively.
Fox does already have the jealousy and attention from their cross town orange and blue wearing sibling though.

yes. jeter was always horrendous defensively. he had some really good 1Bs to cover for his horrible throws.
the guy could hit for average and did well in the playoffs and always “said the right things” etc.
fox is a complete player but doesn’t really talk. he’s very different from jeter.
His point totals against NYI and Boston aren't great so hopefully for our sake and his that changes.

Fox deserves to win the Norris although I think Hedman will actually win. Think the Lightning being a playoff team tips the scales towards Hedman for a standard voter
The award is for best defender, not the most valuable defender, is it not? I don't get why how good the team is matters.

That matters for the Hart, but IDK about the Norris.
It's possible that's what put Doughty over Karlsson in 2016, but I honestly don't know. Teams that miss the playoffs don't typically have a Norris finalist.

his range was bad. Besides that, I don't remember him being bad defensively. Especially when he first came up. As time went on he got fatter and slower
but like I was saying... Decent/good at everything, big brain and a clutch winner.

I have no idea why it matters but if we're talking about who will win you kind of how to note that never in the history of the league has a player won the Norris on a team that did not make the playoffs (unless you count Josi last year whose team lost in the qualifying round).

personally yes I absolutely agree with you
I also don’t have a vote and so my opinion doesn’t matter. With how these writers vote no one should be shocked if Hedman wins because of the playoffs thing

Lucky for him would've him being drafted on a monster team. Now he has to carry the New York Rangers and do more than his own pulling. The one who's lucky is you as a Rangers fan.
I don't think isolated assists has much to do with it. That comes down to averages of the mean.He's playing like a star player. That's all anyone can hope and wish for. I think the next season will be quite successful for the Rangers. It'll be an interesting window.
At this point, now I think he won't win as a voter protest against the analytics crowd.

People are going to be really f***ing angry if Fox loses—not just us.

That's the only acceptable reason to not give it to him.
