Adam Fox’s Rangers Crossroads

**Corey** (0:00)
On June 11th, Adam Fox, a defenseman for the New York Rangers, is putting up serious numbers despite injuries this past season. He played in 55 games and still managed to rack up 53 points. He still considered one of the top powerplay defensemen out there, even though the team's overall performance wasn't what anyone expected. The Rangers have been in a bit of a holding pattern lately. They lost Artemi Panarin, which really hurt their powerplay, and there was talk of a big retool.
But, then they decided to keep Benson Trocheck, so it seems like they're not going all in on a rebuild just yet. It's tough for the fans to see the team not fully commit to a rebuild when they have solid players like Fox and goalie Igor Shesterkin. Plus, Aletsis Lafrenière is starting to show his potential, and Gay Perot has also stepped up. So maybe losing Panarin isn't the end of the world after all.
Fox has had some great moments, even winning a Norris Trophy a few years back. But he's all about winning and the Rangers haven't quite gotten there. They try to rush things and it cost them in the playoffs. Now the question is, can Fox handle going through another cycle of being close but not quite winning? He's a valuable player and there are definitely teens out there that are closer to a championship and could use his skills. It makes you wonder if he might consider looking for a new team, kind of like we're seeing with other players around the league. That's the story for today.
