Adam Fox: Norris Candidate? Adam Fox: Norris Candidate!

I don’t know. He looks super young. I feel like he would prefer some women that could teach him a thing or three

...not to mention throwing the virgins through his window!! :rofl:

 

gotta be super weird chucking Lafreniere through a window.

His beard would get caught on the shade!!! ;)

 

Either that, or the pizza box wouldn't make it through!! LOL

For fox-sakes vote for Fox!

Three games away now from tying Leetch's record? Do it, Foxy one.

The poise, patience under pressure and the nifty spins away from being harassed at the blue line are a few things I notice about this guy just about every game. He is legit good!

The Rooney goal was a result of a total individual effort on his part. That was great to watch.

Don't bring macroeconomics into this! Or is that microeconomics, no idea. Do think it's volcano though, not a window.

leetch did it and two years later the rangers won the cup. History likes to repeat itself.

think about it!

Just curious, how many players have been a finalist or won the Norris trophy that was not on a playoff team?

Josi last year, technically. Believe Nashville would have missed playoffs last year and they lost the play in round.

Won? Zero. I think Erik Karlsson led the league in points one year and didn't win it because the Sens missed. If the Rangers don't get in, Fox won't win it.

I think just the fact he gets votes is a major plus. He's going to win it eventually, but at least now his name is in the conversation...and probably will be going forward.

If you're the best defenseman, you're the best defenseman. I don't think making the playoffs should be a factor. It's only one guy, not surprising that's what ends up happening. But in any case, he's made a great case for himself regardless and it'll be his time eventually.

That's how most awards work, unfortunately. It's why Panarin didn't get real consideration for MVP

It will be interesting to see if Makars missed time will cost him any votes. He's really the only one who I would be OK with winning over Fox.

 

The Norris race for those 2 in the years to come is going to be fun, it's going to become a player rivalry of players who rarely go head to head

Please don't win please don't win, we need to keep you around for less than the bazillion dollars you're worth foxy

Win or not I’m sure he’s getting paid. For once the rangers will give money to a defenseman that deserves it.

Will he take an 8x8 offer?

Do the Rangers even have to go that high? He's a RFA after next season, so why not some type of bridge deal that at least takes him to where Trouba/Kreider's NTC's become modified and we can make room at the Inn.

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we could keep him for less than 8x8...

He's going to come with John Carlson, and the Rangers will counter with like Charlie McAvoy.

 

Fox is worth every penny, but he's not going higher than 8m. His comparables on age and production are like Ekblad/Hedman and neither is over 8.

Can't see him taking less than Trouba on a maxed out contract length. Certainly you could get him cheaper if you go 3 years to get him to UFA status. The wise thing here has to be to lock him up as long as you can now. He won't get any cheaper.

I still think it's Ekblad. 8 years, 60M.

 

Trouba deal was signed with the expectation of a rising cap. That's out the window. Even with this season, he's not coming in much higher than 8m.

He might opt to bridge, until cap goes up.
