On Monday, the New York Rangers announced the most important contract they’ll agree to in the next five years.
According to reports, the Rangers and 23-year-old defenseman Adam Fox have agreed to a seven-year, $66.5 million contract ($9.5 million AAV).
That deal would be the richest contract in NHL history for a defenseman leaving his entry-level deal.
Fox was a rookie in the 2019-20 season and finished fourth in the voting for the Calder Trophy. Last year he produced 47 points in 55 games and won the Norris Trophy.
