After the tournament ending, if you had to build around either D who would you choose ?

Faber was the 2nd youngest player in the tournament and the youngest North American, and he still played the most minutes of any player in the final. Pretty telling.

There is also the fact he is 5 years younger than Fox and locked up at a reasonable cap long term.

 

[Fatass]

Easy. Fox is good at the regular season nhl pace. When the speed of the game ramps up his lack of skating limits him. He’s super smart, but there comes a time when the speed of the game out distances his thinking.

 

[Machinehead]

This can't be serious.

Fox already has more top-5 Norris finishes than Faber probably ever will.

Faber is in his D+4. Fox won the Norris in his D+4.

People still don't get Adam Fox. Sullivan evidently had no f***ing idea what Fox is.

He wasn't gonna use him over Werenski as his top offensive guy (accurate) so he just didn't use him.

Fox isn't this dynamic offensive guy. He's a heady player with good stickwork whose best asset is defense. Imagine if Mattias Ekholm was a really good powerplay quarterback. That's Adam Fox.

He should have been the guy next to Slavin on Sullivan's shutdown pair.

And also there's this:

Keep in mind, this is the worst version of Adam Fox, versus Faber in the same D-year in which Fox was already a Norris winner.

This can't be serious.

I'm entirely basing this of the 4NT but Fox looked completely pedestrian out there. Faber was very impressive.

Faber and it's not even close. He's a top 3 or 5 dman in the league.

Top 3?

...5 minute attention spans...I blame this inter-web thingamabobber...

 

[Felidae]

Fox at Faber's current age was a Norris winner. It's gonna be hard to top what Fox has done so far. Averaging 70 points a season while being one of the better two way defenseman in the league

If we based everything around a 4 game tourney, then Granlund is the best Finnish forward in the league.

Damn 4 nations really did create a bunch of new hockey fans

Yup the poll votes are very telling so far

The anti fox circle jerk has been wild. Idk if it’s anti NYR bias or if people still just can’t accept that an elite D can be built like a 7th grader

You call that a reasonable cap hit?

Shocking results in this poll to say the least.

 

[DrunkTurtle]

Gotta say that the poll results are very surprising. Not many votes, but still.
