Dougherty is really high praise. I think he looks about where McDonagh was at 23, maybe even slightly ahead. I think McDonagh’s star reached as high as top 5-10 league-wide defenseman but that was a short lived peak.

Don't ever disrespect Adam Fox by comparing him to the toilet person that is Drew Doughty.
Oh man, I think this is, conversely, far too conservative.
I think Fox is borderline as good as McDonagh at this point. McDonagh had a really short prime that Fox hasn’t hit yet, but that’s inevitably coming.
He doesn’t dominate in the same way defensively, but he’s significantly better offensively.
Strome got him a make up point today. That’s why I love those EN goal points. Even if an EN may be easier to score, well not always, it kinda awards a player for missing out on points earlier when they made great plays but didn’t get on the scoresheet .
The thing about Fox, is that he doesn't even need to be great on D, because he's the type of player that just finds away to have the puck and move it into offensive zone. He's a perfect example of a good defense is a good offense. When he's on the ice the puck is usually going to be in the O-zone. And yet when he needs to he shows that he is very capable of playing D, probably better than anyone else on our team in that regard.
I'm just going to say it, Fox is the best D the Rangers have had since Leetch. He's better than McD IMO.
I don’t think this is a hot take at this point. Myself and many others agree!

You tend to forget he was a third rounder. Heck of a pick by Calgary.

66th overall, just like Vesey. Played for Havard, just like Vesey. Had his rights traded before signing, just like Vesey.
That's where the comparisons end

Been camping in the outback last 4 days - hadn’t seen any games or results. But watching replays tonight that Fox coast-to-coast goal gave me wood...

Yeah, you lock this guy up as long as you can (8 years). He's the franchise defenseman on the backend.
Canes signed Jaccob Slavin to a 7 year 5.3 mil per deal, a year before his ELC expired. In todays cap that would be 5.762.050 per year ( according to capfriendly numbers ). I think that is a good comparable for Fox, if he extends this summer.

Why would you want Fox to get EN points? He’s just going to demand a crazier contract.

When are we allowed to extend him? Beginning of next season?
By the way, Fox is one of the easiest calls to make on an extension. 8 years. No less.

Fox is not getting ufa contract value on his second contract. NYR has never been a sucker on second contracts. If he gets 8 years the rfa years will bring down the aav. We aren't the leafs, we arent giving ufa value contracts to our rfas, we never have...
6-6.5 aav on a long term deal that buys out ufa years in a flat cap world, but he will most likely push for a werenski structured contract that is 2-3 years with the 3rd year being big money and pushing a high QO on his next contract so he can cash in once the league economy starts to recover

Fox obviously wants to be here I dont think locking him up long term at a reasonable price will be too difficult.
I also think he is one of those types of players that will constantly be learning the game and improving throughout his entire career. He already makes savvy plays out there that are uncoachable. He just absorbs the game so well. Best is yet to come.

If Fox accepts a deal like that he is a fool. He could easily demand up to 6.5-7M on a 7 year deal.

I would be happy to bump the price up to lock him up long-term. This is a guy you don't f*** around with.
