Fox is skating in his fifth NHL season. It generally takes defenceman longer to adjust to the pace and detail of the NHL game. Incredibly, Fox has never had a minus season (on the goals for/goal against scale) He's a combined (+90) so far in his young career. He's already a perennial All-Star. He also owns a Norris Trophy (NHL's Top 'D') from the year 20/21.
Fox logs an average of 22:22 TOI.
There isn't a match-up the Rangers are concerned about when tapping him to role over the boards.
He's used in all situations.
He has elite vision distributing the puck and quarterbacking the PP.
He doesn't have the hardest shot in the league, but he knows how to place the puck and score.
Fox isn't a burner. Watch him closely. He's not the fastest skater in the NHL.
What he has in spades is elite hockey IQ. He's one of the smartest players in the entire NHL. He's calculating. A surgeon.
