Rangers Hold Fox Tight | New York Rangers News

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On July 7th, so the Rangers, they've been busy this off season, right? General Manager Chris Drury went out and snagged Pavel Dorofeyev, a dude who dropped 37 goals last season and locked him down with a long-term deal. They also finally moved Vincent Trocheck over to the Utah Mammoth. Big moves, setting the tone for what's next. Now, here's the real kicker.
Teams have been calling about Adam Fox.
The guy who won the Norris Trophy back in 2021
But word is, Drury ain't budging. He's basically told everyone to forget about it, shutting down any talk of trading Fox. He's considered too valuable to let go.
There was some chatter that maybe Fox wasn't too pleased about being left off the Team USA Olympic roster, especially since Drury and the head coach were involved in those decisions. But even with that, Fox is seen as the Rangers' most crucial player, besides maybe Igor Shestakhin. Getting him would cost an astronomical amount, if you believe the reports. Even with missing some games due to injury, Fox still put up 52 points in just 55 regular season games. That's after he hit at least 70 points in three of the four years before that. He's got three years left on his contract, making $9.5 million annually. Holding on to Fox really sends a message. Even after a rough finish last season, the Rangers are signaling they're still trying to win, not just rebuild. With Dorofeyev and Sean Durzi now in the mix, they're shaping up to be a tricky team to figure out. You've been listening to New York Rangers News Today. AI-powered team coverage.
