They better resign ADA. Hoping Lundkvist or any of the other (however skilled and highly touted) prospects will outshine him is foolish. And, if they do, trade ADA when that time comes. Plenty of cap space will soon open.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
(Just busting your chops, great call on this)
Don't see it per se. Think that Fox has more offensive talent while Rafalski was more pugnacious. But the one thing that they both have in common is the smarts.

Lundkvist appears on track to be an excellent two way right handed D. He may not be better offensively than Tony D but he very well may be much better defensively.
And in a cap league his price will be much cheaper over the next 5-7 years. Also if Tony D is traded we will have a substantial asset at another position. I like Tony D.
It’s a nice problem to have.
If Nils can prove himself worthy of a spot on our side of the pond we can cross that bridge when we get there.

Fox really should be considered for the Calder Award. 6 goals 27 points +9 in 48 games in his 1st NHL season on a rebuilding team is impressive. I don't get how he isn't getting consideration besides he's a defenseman and not on a powerhouse or a playoff team

makar has 10 more points in 7 less games...the calder won't even be close.

These few days off should recharge Fox for the stretch run. Expect big time games here on out.
What about Timonen? Not going to claim I can clearly remember Kimmo's game but I thought there may be some similarity there...

Any other year, he'd be in the conversation. I posted an overview of rookie D-men aged 21 and younger and Fox would be a top 5 player in that category since 2000 if Makar and Hughes weren't in the league this year

In a way this could be also good.
He doesn’t have to worry about the race and just focus on his game. Underdog shit.

Something he appears to excel at is getting shots on net relative to others on the team. Nothing too fancy, say, what you get from a Tony DeSanAngeles. And this is not meant to be a swipe at the iTalian. He brings creativity and some really lights out passing. Just answering the post that Fox would also have over 30 points hypothetically.
I think Fox has higher IQ than Tony D, is more cunning and is sly on the puck, plays to his last name, lol. Not taking a dig at Tony who has made some nice passes. Tony does have a better shot, if Fox could work on his shot, he'd be really lethal on that point. He already is a threat now but would be even bigger, imo.

Fox is going to become our most important and best overall defenseman by as early as next year.That's how good this kid is.

The thought of a prime DeAngelo and Fox on the PP is just plain scary. The other teams PK won't know what to do. If they over compensate the forwards or the point men they will get burned very quickly with the amount of star power all over. Even keeping them split up still gives each PP unit an elite PPQB. Can't imagine ever having a PP that's not top 10 in the league with those 2 in a year or 2.

This is a bad hockey team.
I actually like the power play better with Fox on the first unit. He gets his passes and shots through and brings out the best of the other guys on the ice. With a less talented second PP group, ADA has more room to freelance and make the fancy plays that he is so good at.
