Confirmed Trade: [NYR/CAR] Adam Fox for 2019 2nd round pick and 2020 conditional 3rd

[Flames Fanatic]

Tim Erixon trade 2.0 almost.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Let down? That's a good pick.

Canes have done a great job at picking 2nd rounders lately but it is a let down. Doesnt help the team next year, at least yet.

 

[DaveG]

So Canes could make the conference finals and still have 3 top 40 picks. Something is going to give at the draft.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Honestly I was thinking it was a conditional 3rd as in “maybe we get it and maybe we don’t.”

Love this for the Canes. Rangers get their guy a year early, Canes get two picks one of which is guaranteed to be pretty darn high.

I hope he has a below average career and is a major disappointment to his parents

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Horrific asset management wrt the lindholm/hamilton blockbuster, but great asset management wrt the Adam fox situation in a vacuum. Waddell was successful in creating a bidding war.

absolutely brilliant conditions. He will play 29 games and then go to Hartford. This is brilliant from Gorton.

Not if he's actually helping the team win hockey games. It'd be a mistake to send down NHL help to save yourself a 2nd round pick.

 

[vorbis]

seems to be conflicting info about the conditional 3rd. one person saying its a 3rd that could become a 2nd, another saying getting the pick at all is conditional upon the 30 game threshold.

 

[Lays]

I really do think another team was close to grabbing Fox that he might sign with which is why we paid a lot (37th+another 2nd likely)

While Fox is worth that by himself, I still think he would’ve signed unless the above would’ve happened. Good move though and I’m happy. Kravtsov, Kakko, Shestyorkin, and now Fox will all be in Ranger jerseys next season (maybe on Shesty)

I’m not upset about losing these picks at all though, our prospect pool is stacked (and the best in the league now) and we already have a lot of picks

 

[TGWL]

Good for both teams. Canes get a possible 2 2nd round picks (maybe both are early 2nd round). Rangers get a guy they wanted without having to give up a 1st.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

HELL YEA!!!

After drafting Kakko...Rangers will slot nicely into having the #1 prospect pool in the league. What an amazing job with the rebuild!

 

[Canovin]

Because you have to wait an entire year.

Fox would have had to wait until August 2020 to sign, so the Rangers get him for an extra season.

Rangers are still rebuilding. I don't see the need to get him on the team next year

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Who are we talking about right now

 

[skyo]

I'm SHOCKED!

ha but that's a good haul for the canes, if Fox plays 30 games next season it becomes two 2nd round picks.

 

[Vitto79]

So a 2nd and 3rd if he signs ? What’s the condition

 

[Roboturner913]

Who are we talking about right now

Adam Fox, obviously

 

[Unsustainable]

May his career and the Canes cup run be that as it was for Jack Johnson

 

[TGWL]

Development. Not about being on the team next season. It's about being in our system.

 

[Chrispy]

Canes have done a great job at picking 2nd rounders lately but it is a let down. Doesnt help the team next year, at least yet.

With their 1st and 3 2nds, including #36 and #37, the Borg have the assets to make a move to help the team next season. Miller could still be a target. They could also package a pick or 2 with Faulk to pull back a wing in a hockey trade for a player with 1 year left.

 

[Lays]

Rangers probably thought another team might get him before them. Although if that’s not the case it’s a weird move

 

[ookhaab]

So a 2nd and 3rd if he signs ? What’s the condition

2019 2nd + 2020 3rd which turns into 2nd if he plays over 30 games next year.

 

[Levitate]

Always a risk he ends up signing somewhere else. Can't just assume "yeah he's gonna sign with the Rangers for sure no one else don't even bother worrying about it". Plus him turning pro this year means an earlier year of development at the pro level. They don't need him for next year but perhaps the Rangers are hoping to have several young players start coming into their own at the same time and signing someone like Fox is part of hitting that time table

At any rate, it's a fair deal. Fox as a prospect is worth the price, we'll see if he pans out

So a 2nd and a 3rd so NYR can develop him their way? Carolina is pretty good at developing D prospects lol

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Adam Fox, obviously

Okay man

 

[Ctrain2k]

Shattenkirk, Deangelo, Pionk, Fox, I guess the rangers have a type.

Canes aren't developing him. He wasn't in their system. They only owned his rights.
