Adam Fox may have the Norris Trophy, but when it comes to him and his fellow defensemen, they turn to Jacob Trouba to lead.
On a recent episode of NHL.com’s @TheRink podcast, Fox talked about who he looked up to when he joined the Rangers. He mentioned Marc Staal who has since been traded, and Trouba.
“Troubs [helped me] as a young guy,” Fox explained. “He’s been in the league for 8 years now. Guys like that help you transition [to the pro level].”
The 23 year-old cited Trouba and having previously played with Ryan Lindgren as some factors that helped him get into a comfort zone so quickly.
