Makes that Trouba contract look a little rough, no?


Trouba has been really good, the offense hasn't been there yet seeing as he went from 1PP time on the jets to emergency PP minutes on the rangers, but hes been eating minutes defensively this season

Him coming in under 10 is a W for NYR.

Fox is great, honestly probably could have gotten more. I guess 9.5 is the number that the nhl settled on for the top end of dmen


The only two 8 digit Dmen in the league falling flat immediately after signing those deals has probably done a fair bit to keep prices down.

He's been pretty solid, but he's not worth $8M AAV.

If Fox or Makar had been UFA's they would easily top 8 figures.

Nemeth has been worth his contract, hes been big for Lundkvist and actually makes a good shutdown/PK pair with Trouba


I still don't think it's a particulary "good" contract. He might be alright for now but he has been *rough* at times in the past.

Fair enough, but he'll never be asked to do too much here with Lindgren and Miller

Darn it. Not because of this contract, but because I wish the Canes had him. I mean, I know our team is 8-0, but maybe we could potentially set the regular season wins record this season with Slavin-Fox as a top pairing, JS...

Slavin-Fox
Skjei-Pesce
Cole-Hakanpaa (probably)

I think it’s a bit steep, but compared to other recent dman contracts *cough* Nurse & Jones *cough*, it’s a steal

He's been amazing, but he likely wouldn't be a Cane if Fox was here. The Rangers would've IMO been far less likely to treat TDA as a pariah if he was their only reliable offensive source on the blueline.

Idk man, Fox wasn't what alienated TDA in our locker room, obviously we have no details, but at the end of the day Fox didn't seal Deangelo's fate, but hes made it MUCH easier to live with

Compariables

Miro Heiskanen 8 Years 8.45 Million
Cale Makar 6 Years 9 Million
Quinn Hughes 6 Years 7.85 Million

Adam Fox 7 Years 9.5 Million

he's the best of the group. Only one who beats him value wise on cheapest deal is really just Miro, but Miro isn't as good as the Norris winner. and comparing him to Makar. Fox is only making 500K extra on 1 Year more than Makar which is an honest steal for the extra year.

Why not 8 years weird

Other than that good deal.


Likely wanted more $$ over 8 years. NYR obviously can't afford much more

He has given out like 2 bad contracts in Nemeth and Goodrow, what are you talking about? If anything, I'm quite surprised by how competent he has been so far given meddlesome ownership and limited experience.


Good
- Resigned Fox which is a no brainer
- Resigned Zibanejad, another easy decision

Bad
- Traded Buchnevich for Blais and 2nd
- Traded a 3rd for Reaves
- SIgned Nemeth to a 3-year contract, stunting the growth of Jones, Robertson, etc
- SIgned Goodrow to a gross 6-year contract
- Drafted Othmann, another LW they don't need
- Signed Shesterkin to only a 4 year deal, should have locked him up long term

More Bad than Good

Big steal. Could've gotten 11M if he held out.

Probably the best dman in the league. This is an underpay. 11m would not have been out of question and this buys multiple UFA years.


Hedman is the best defenseman in the league and this is no underpay! Nurse is better than this guy cause he has good size, Fox is purely offensive and will not push guys out of the crease

Forgot re-signing Lindgren and Chytil to cheap bridges

Fair but we suck in the 3rd round (Jones our only good one in a WHILE)
L, hes been good and hes not finishing this contract as a ranger, and Robertson isn't close anyway
L people get caught up in Othmann being a left winger when we can hold him off until 2024 when we can trade Kreider and CK can always play right wing, if Othmann forces our hands early thats even better
W but Shesty probably wanted and in between kind of term so no reason to antagonize your franchise goalie

I didn't want to include signing RFAs to bridge deals because literally any GM can do that
Doesn't matter if Nemeth is not going to be a Ranger at the end of the deal. Rangers signed him to an unnecessary 3 year contract which they will likely have to dump in a year or two. If he was signed to a 1 year deal, it would be a good move
Othmann was a bad pick. Sure you can move players to RW but Othmann is gonna be stuck in the bottom 6. Rangers could have used the first on a center or LD or used it to acquire a player they need. No need to use the pick on a gritty winger
