My point was I hope his career doesn't turn out as disappointing as MDZ's.

Fox is like nothing I've ever seen before. I'm quite amazed on how great he is.
Big-brain plays or big chin plays?

Would you tell me with a straight face if Adam Fox's career followed MDZ's you wouldn't be disappointed? When you quote game numbers and team awards rather than any individual numbers or awards you know the guy is just good enough to play in the NHL and ride the coattails of better players.

Both. Some say his brain has a section that extends to his chin.

This is a bad hockey team.
We took Del Zotto over Carlson. Just another in a multitude of draft blunders over the years.

I can't believe 25+ teams passed on Lundqvist several times.
There's a difference between that and two players that were fewer than 10 picks apart and we both discussed at the time as options.

I can't believe Montreal passed on Kreider
I can't believe Colorado passed on Miller
I can't believe Phoenix passed on Skjei
None of those players are as good as Carlson. Also, I don't care about what players other teams passed on, I'm a Rangers fan, not a Habs, Avs, or Coyotes fan.

Bullshit, dude. Why should I care about draft mistakes of teams I don't follow?
Me: Son, you have to say thank you when someone gives you something.
Steven: But John, Jim, and Dave's sons didn't say thank you!

Uh, was this sarcasm?
Del zotto has been a well below average NHL player in his career after coming out of the gate hot as a Ranger. And the cup thing is hilarious, he didn’t play a single game in those playoffs, he contributed nothing to that team.
It would absolutely be a disappointment, even a bust, if Fox’s career turned out to be like DZs.
Thankfully I don’t think we have to worry about that, he’s way too smart of a player to decline like DZ did
In all fairness, Carlson has turned a corner these last 3 seasons (including this one). He's become a 70 point d-man. Before that, he wasn't anywhere near those numbers. He was more a 40 point d-man.
That said, his career has definitely been better than Del Zotto's for sure.

Gonna get heat for this, but I’ve been more excited to see Fox play than Kakko. When I’m watching the games, I am mesmerized with how sly he is on the puck. It’s been a real treat watching this kid.
Was just looking att Fox, he looks Good (sadly
) but Carlson took of the same year Alzner left Capitals and Carlson got to play with a decent partner. We can pretty much say Alzner held Carlson back.

You're not wrong.
The caveat is that Kakko is 18. Fox probably would have been trash at 18 (matter of fact, I watched him in the WJC; he kinda was lol) and the hope is that Kakko is an elite player in 4 years time.

Just wondering ... how does he compare to MDZ when he started with NYR? He put up some great numbers for a rookie and has d moments of brilliance I’m sure as well. Just making sure we’re not getting ahead of ourselves.

Not a bad comparison. MDZ was a top 4 NHL D at 19 and then just kinda died.
Big difference though: MDZ never skated well enough to play the style he wanted. Fox can fly.

The corner he’s turned is being played on the top PP.
