This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Fox is skating in his fifth NHL season. It generally takes defenceman longer to adjust to the pace and detail of the NHL game. Incredibly, Fox has never had a minus season (on the goals for/goal against scale) He's a combined (+90) so far in his young career. He's already a perennial All-Star. He also owns a Norris Trophy (NHL's Top 'D') from the year 20/21.
Fox logs an average of 22:22 TOI.
There isn't a match-up the Rangers are concerned about when tapping him to role over the boards.
He's used in all situations.
He has elite vision distributing the puck and quarterbacking the PP.
He doesn't have the hardest shot in the league, but he knows how to place the puck and score.
Fox isn't a burner. Watch him closely. He's not the fastest skater in the NHL.
What he has in spades is elite hockey IQ. He's one of the smartest players in the entire NHL. He's calculating. A surgeon.
