The Rangers have begun that rebuild acceleration process we heard so much about. Knowing that defense prospect Adam Fox would not sign with them, the Hurricanes have sent him to the Rangers for the Blueshirts’ own 2nd rounder this year and a conditional 3rd rounder next year.
Fox, Calgary’s 3rd round pick in 2016, put up a line of 9-39-48 in 33 games with Harvard this season. The 21 year old from Jericho is now expected to go pro this year following the trade. The Rangers would not have sent a high 2nd rounder this year for him if that was not the case.
