Winning the rookie of the year for K-Zoo didnt seem to help Fox get a callup..Blomstrand but not him.

Granted niether would play in the playoffs..but just being up would be good for him

Fox was placed on reserve before the final playoff game with K-Zoo. May be injured.

I think we all expect Fox to be in Utica next year. Travis Green will make him work on his defensive game. And we all agree that he needs to improve his skating, but that is not always possible at his age.

He is still a longshot to ever play in the NHL. Next year will be a big year for him.

If Fox is very driven to prove the naysayers wrong, there is absolutely no reason why his skating can't improve. We haven't heard any update from the Kalamazoo coaching staff on whether Fox's skating has improved or not.

Nothing that specific that I've seen, no. But it is a vote of confidence that the coach thinks he'll be in the AHL next year so I'd assume that's for more than just the fact he can score goals.

His coach stated just before New Year's that his skating had improved significantly.

Since Utica did scoring by committee and only had one guy with 20 goals or more (Brandon Defazio) Fox's and Blomstrand's 30+ goals in the ECHL for the Wings will be a much welcomed addition. Not saying that it will translate, but when players know how to score, it certainly helps the team having those options.

Good point.

It is my one worry about all our emerging prospects/rookies, there are no natural scorers like Daniel, likely to put up big points in the NHL. That will have to be addressed, look at the teams contesting the SC Con finals at present.
