rekker Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Sure glad he isn't having this success in Calgary. Lol. To be honest, I have never really watched him much. Just glad he's not in Calgary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 This could be a big time steal if Fox can stay this good. Best defenseman in the league last year. A Norris finalist is worth $10M+ IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris winner. At this point id say the Makar / Fox deals are spot on. Huggy is cheap but people will always revert back to whining over 1 less year. Heiskanen seems like a bit of a deal as well. Olympics will be interesting, Guys like Fox / Huggy / McAvoy / Slavin... With goalies like Demko / Gibson / Hellebuyck. Mcgod better take over lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one of these players has a Norris trophy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 9.5 x 7 for the Norris Trophy winner. Wow. great deal for the Rangers. But why re-sign now? Why not wait until the summer and try for $11 million+? Fox may have cost himself millions. And he should have taken an 8 year deal to guarantee more money. Makar was smart to only go 6 years as he will still be young enough to get another huge deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed payday and sets a tone for teammates to take a tad less to build something special. Rags looking good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yet another big D contract ... joining McAvoy...looks like JB bridged the right guy so far doesn't it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have gotten Doughty money. Hey, if he's happy good for him. The NHLPA is probably pissed though as this contract sets the bar. Nobody else can ask for more. I mean he's a RHD Norris Trophy winner. What defenceman will be able to ask over $10 million now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 All it takes is 2 good seasons for a 66million contract nowadays in the NHL. The teams / the league will come to regret some of these contracts they are handing out like candies. The Keller contract already looks bad 7.1mil/year for a 15 goals 45 points guy. Gotta hand it to Benning on this front with his Boeser, Pettersson, Hughes signings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 At the start of the off season like many others was hoping we'd sign EP long term, and bridge QHs...then Makar, Heiskanen, Jones, Werenski and Nurse got their massive contracts..read an article saying what is that going to mean for Fox, Chychrun and McAvoy coming up soon (Sergachev too). Thought we could get QHs for a 6 x 3 deal or something...that changed quickly. In the end QHs looks like a great signing compared to the rest so far - and yes in part it's because OEL is playing with Myers and taking the the heaviest minutes. It's also QHs too. We dodged a bullet there. It's a massive market adjustment considering flat cap..and that it really hasn't gone up much in four years too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Adam Fox for 9.5m Seth Jones for 9.5m Every subsequent D signing makes the Jones deal look even worse. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
