Still bitter how the Tony D situation ended but no doubt that led to Fox establishing himself becoming the player he is now. He's a PP1 QB and the best all around defenseman this season. Simply amazing he may win a Norris in his 2nd season!

Fox is also elite defensively which is the craziest crazy part.

There’s no *objective* reason he shouldn’t be the front runner for the Norris trophy.

That's the thing - points are what grabs the attention of those who don’t follow him on a nightly basis. But his 200 foot game is COMPLETE.

I get their is bias toward rewarding players on winning teams, but if Fox isn’t a Norris finalist than the league should be ashamed.

Yeah; you need to give this kid a very long contract with the cap space you have this off-season.

Because in a few years when the cap rises that contract is going to look like a steal. No bridge deals for this guy.

I'm not old enough to have watched him in his prime, and this is stylistic only, and I know it's heretical but watching Fox I can't help but think Gretzky. He doesn't have any overwhelming hockey traits besides being really good at hockey, if that makes sense.

5 goals and 35 points in 37 games.

Not only are we now at the point where he’s scoring at an 11 goal/78 point pace per 82 games, he’s also scored around 70 points over his last 82 games going back to last season.

And he’s only 23.

And this is only his second season.

Let that sink in for a minute.

I think it's 36 points in 37 games.

I think that errant pass to Ovie last week was the one and only defensive mistake he has ever made. It's silly how complete he is at such a young age

also he’s 23 and will be 24 when his ELC expires. If we can extend him for the full 8 years, his contract will end right at the end of his prime. That would be absolutely ideal.

Saw a tweet tonight that back in 2016 the Canucks needed a PP defenseman and with their 3rd round pick, instead of Fox, they took this other American defensman in the USDP that scored like half as many points as Fox during their D+0 season.

Such a Canucks thing to do. f***in’ dum-dums.

there’s a reason they’re called the canuckleheads.

Wouldn't he still force a trade to the Rangers? I feel a little dirty in how we got him, haha. I don't like players not signing with the team that drafted them.

Just think, they could have had a pair of seconds instead.

A few games ago I said his hockey sense is the closest I’ve ever seen to Gretzky’s. It’s not at that level of course, but it isn’t far off. Fox just gets hockey and all the little nuances. I think he also sees the ice better while playing than I do on my TV.

I don’t think he’ll drop off much after it either. All signs point to him having the longevity of Gretzky and Jagr, though probably not quite as long.
