you do when you’re trying to build a stanley cup champion team. I love fox but he’s earned an absurd salary and it’s going to make future decisions extremely difficult.

I doubt a bunch of sports journalists voting for a reputation award would really move the needle. His agent knows his value regardless.

you forget he has several arbitration years left. a norris trophy will no doubt impact that

Who f***ing cares?

If hes worth it, hes worth it.

So what trade him for futures?

 

[Raspewtin]

give him whatever the f*** he wants lol come on, he's a soon-to-be norris finalist in his 2nd year in the league!

 

[McRanger]

It will be nearly impossible to overpay Fox.

 

[bobbop]

As the Rangers were rebuilding, the one thing I was most worried about was do they have a number one defenseman somewhere in their pipeline that most championship teams have.

No longer an issue.

 

[NYSPORTS]

yeah well, with Kreider, Trouba, Panarin and possibly Zibby this is destined to be an issue b/c Fox, Kakko and Laf will also cost a fortune. Not to mention the goalie.

I imagine fans want to resign Buch too.

 

[doomscroll]

This team is very fun to watch, and it’s pleasing heading into the summer knowing that the most concerning cap-hits come from players (namely Kreider and Trouba) who are still effective and in their primes. Aside from that, there isn’t really dead-weight aside from Howden. How many other teams are able to say that their scapegoat player is on an ELC? Only kind of joking on that last bit.

EDIT: I meant to post this in the Roster Building Thread, my bad. On the topic of Fox, he hasconsistently displayed his level of intelligence beyond the level of exxageration and memes, and I am not at all concerned about his future cap-hit - similar to how Panarin's managed to be of great value thus-far.

 

[Doctyl]

Fox isn’t flashy.

I don’t understand this. What is flashy then? Fox regularly makes NHLers look silly on the blue line with his hands and his vision is insane. He’s pulling prime Erik Karlsson shit out there regularly.

If Fox isn’t flashy then I’ve never watched a flashy defensemen play the game.

I know they get a bit of help from state taxes, but if Tampa can pull off their cap every year, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to figure stuff out too.

we’re gonna have a lot of the dead space coming off in these coming years with the ELCs expiring. This was planned.

The Rangers won’t hesitate to pay Fox over everyone you mentioned. They will do absolutely anything they need to to lock him up long term.

And no matter what the cap hit or term, Fox will be worth it.

It’s the easiest decision the team has to make. It’s the easiest decision they’ve had to make since the creation of the cap.

you and all who liked missed the point

they’re sitting their two top players to get under

 

[Doctyl]

I know, but that’s something I see a lot on the main boards. Anyone who seriously says this clearly has never watched him

 

[Kaapo Bustfreniere]

They can offer him an 8 year contract this offseason already, correct?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Correct. Negotiations for contract extension can start 12 months before the contract expires*. Fox signed his ELC in 2019 and will be RFA in 2022. Same with Kakko and Kravtsov.


*exception for 1 year deals. Those can be negotiated for extension on Jan 1st

 

[McRanger]

I understand the point. It’s just irrelevant.

The Rangers will lock up Fox long term and then work things around keeping him. Just like every team that’s ever had a superstar before them.

The goal is to become a great team filled with talent and the destiny of all teams like that are tough cap decisions. It’s inevitable.

And none of it will effect Fox.

Really dude?

"Adam Fox's salary is going to make things difficult in the future. Imagine what we could do with our roster with the cap hit he will likely command. We could sign a player like Adam Fox for that kind of money."

 

[Machinehead]

Most cap decisions in the NHL actually aren't that hard. Just don't pay a premium for powerplay points.

Adam fox and shesty are the 2 more important players in this organization. Winning or going far becomes next to impossible without either guy
