There's some good stuff on him here: https://www.blueshirtbanter.com/2019/4/2/18291326/adam-fox-scouting-report-rumors-trade-now-or-wait-until-2020-new-york-rangers-harvard-hurricanes

Was hoping to use that 2nd rd pick to moveup, or potentially take some good talent.

 

Oh well.

 

Get rid of some cap, now.

 

I don't think it's anything too crazy. He's a very highly ranked prospect. We could potentially have three first rounders come June. If we do need to trade up, he's highly ranked enough where he's probably a better bet than who we'd trade up for anyway

Scouting Report

Assets: A creative playmaker, he skates well and can quarterback a power play. Owns quality puck-moving skills and plenty of offensive ability from the back end. His passing skills are first-rate. Is great at lugging the puck up ice.

Flaws: Does not own ideal size (5-11, 181 pounds), so he must get stronger and better equipped to battle against bigger forwards at the National Hockey League level. Must be better at defensive-zone coverage.

Career Potential: Talented, offensive-minded defenseman with upside.

Scouting Report

https://www.thedraftanalyst.com/prospects/adam-fox/

A terrific playmaker from the back end with first-class vision and elite puck distributing abilities, Fox was Team USA’s most consistent defender. He is yet another Nassau County native to grace the NTDP’s blue line, using flair, creativity and astonishing puck control to wow onlookers and dizzy opponents all at the same time. He was beyond deserving of his nomination as top defenseman at the U18 worlds, which shows how far this kid has come since the start of the season when he was considered (and assessed) as merely a power play specialist. Nothing could be further from the truth, as Fox usurped fellow NTDP rearguard Chad Krys as Team USA’s best overall defenseman and most reliable at generating offense.

 

Fox is a good skater who looks far more graceful in confined spaces than he does in open ice. His lateral movement and edge work are excellent — his twirls and pirouettes are strikingly similar to the way Ottawa star defender Erik Karlsson controlled his puck movement while playing for Team Sweden in his pre-draft years. Fox has an accurate shot that does not require velocity to beat a goalie clean in any of the corners, and he can juke and fake his way into prime scoring areas with relative ease. He is far from physical, and falling below the six-foot mark could work against him as his development path takes him through the bigger, thicker forwards. That being said, he ran the gauntlet of NCAA competition with significant success, as even the most mature NCAA opponents could not find an answer to his puck wizardry.

wth, hopefully they feel really go about it... looks promising on paper ability wise. would be nice to see he was more physical but guess u give one to get the other.

 

lord knows we need right handed shots on the blueline

 

still can't imagine this quirk of walking on draft deals won't get closed on the next cba. seems we do better at signing these guys than anyone else.
