This is also a good one.

I was pulling into an Orthopedic Sports Fitness place when I first got the Tweet notifications. I went from 1) happy to 2) we paid a bit too much to 3) whatever in about 30 seconds.

It's funny watching you guys debate whether we paid an extra third/second too much. Just enjoy it. If we gave up more than we thought we should have, well we got way better than expected from Winnipeg and Boston the previous year. We may get more from Dallas than first expected. It's all lost in the sauce. Enjoy the end product.

We added a very good prospect. These are exciting times. Look at how improved our prospect pool is compared to 15 months ago. This is going to a fun team to watch for years.

The exact sequence of my thoughts when I seen it too.

Pretty sure my first post in this thread had all three of those stages.

We do need someone capable of PKing on the right side there, otherwise that’s going to be a weakness of this team for years. Maybe DeAngelo grows into someone who can be effective at it. But that’s something that will need to be addressed at some point in time. Don’t know that it’s urgent for next season. But at some point.

It was an issue last year when McQuaid and Pionk were the main guys and it will be an issue this year with the same personnel minus McQuaid and + Fox. After the deadline and McQuaid moved on Quinn was playing Smith on left wing and moving him back on RD to split the penalty killing with Pionk and an occasional appearance by Shattenkirk. Quinn very rarely used DeAngelo in that role. Really I thought Tony's D was a lot better at the end of the year but it'll be some of the same issues whether Pionk, Shattenkirk, DeAngelo or Fox--little guys getting knocked around by bigger guys. The only one of them that is really strong enough to handle big physical forwards is Shattenkirk.

Incorrect.

This^ is the best picture on the internet.

Sad Stu Bickel is my personal fave

SIAP but where would Fox be drafted if he was eligible this year? I assume somewhere in the first round.

If he was an 18 year old defenseman and he just put up the numbers he did in the NCAA? He would be 3rd overall.

And you seem awfully gullible to believe that the Rangers were the only team to make an serious offer in the whole month (or 29 days) it’s been since Dundon said they’ll trade him. I wish you all the best with that.

I mean, LeBrun literally said they had only one team to deal with - the Rangers. That pretty much makes all other offers irrelevant. And, if LeBrun knew that we were the only team Fox would sign with, I bet other GM's knew as well. Regardless of serious offers, we held all the cards. Either you wait and lose a year of development with Fox but get him for free, or you trade for him now.

Also, Rick Nash's dad and Sam eating pizza.

We've had some classics.

Seems fair. He’s a good piece. Maybe a tiny bit high but I can live with it for certain

 

[Blue Men Group]

Are all 3 year ELC the same $ amount?

 

[Overcast]

When you can trade guys like Vesey/Namestnikov to recoup those 2nd/3rd rounders, it makes this go from "This wasn't really a problem to begin with" to

and instead of limes it's draft picks.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Seems like the Rangers always get these kids because they guarantee them ice time, and actually follow through on the promise.

 

[hi]

I hope they play What Does The Fox Say after he scores

Scoring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

 

[JT Kreider]

Any word on Fox signing or is the last update from last month still that he is planning on going back for his senior year?

 

[nyr2k2]

No, they can be different amounts and have performance and signing bonuses included or excluded.

Something from earlier in the thread, one of the writers said they were working on finalizing a contract.

 

[JT Kreider]

Were you going to do better with a 37 pick and a 2nd next year?

No. Because Gordie Clark has the worst track record in the league when it comes to 2nd round picks.

 

[offdacrossbar]

this is a slam dunk no brainer. period.

adam fox is a very talented offensive righty dman and we got him for a couple 2nds.

its not an overpayment. its a very fair deal for a very good prospect.

 

[Joey Bones]

The only thing that stinks is pick #37 was supposed to be the Samuel Fagemo pick

Wouldn't be surprised if they took him with Winnipeg/Dallas 1st round pick....

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

Now the Dallas-St.Louis series becomes even bigger. Losing the 37th hurts a bit. I want 2,18/19 and 28/30

Was just about to post the same, the Dallas pick would greatly soften losing #37, and we still end up with a top RHD prospect.

Carps’ article in the Athletic today also had a quote from Gorton that said the same.

I think probably top 10.

Are all 3 year ELC the same $ amount?

Roughly, but no. The biggest difference is will be bonuses, but realistic bonuses normally cap out at $850,000, and even those ones are no gimmies.

He is ahead of Miller by quite a shot. Carolina said if they could have signed him he would be playing right now much like Makar did.

As Levy already mentioned - it points toward Fox’s readiness. Everything else being equal in terms of upside, Miller’s size could be a huge difference.
