Adam Fox, fresh off his five assist performance last night, is an elite defenseman. And no, it is not too early to have this conversation. Fox is everything we hoped Ryan McDonagh could become at the height of his powers. Fox has not only impressed by the underlying numbers, but has been absolutely mesmerizing to watch this season from an eye test perspective.
From his ability to keep the puck in the offensive zone, both at even strength and the power play, and his ability to thread pucks through multiple defenders to wide open teammates, he has been tremendous in everything he does.
