Canadiens Have a Perfect Opportunity to Make a Trade Splash with the Rangers for Adam Fox
Things are really going badly for the New York Rangers right now, and here's a golden opportunity for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
I have rarely seen a team collapse this badly in the middle of a season, and want to trade everyone like this.
It will be quite a spectacle over the next few weeks.
As you know, Jacob Trouba has been traded, Chris Kreider will clearly be traded, Mika Zibanejad too (his name is circulating a lot in rumors), and even Alexis Lafrenière's name is starting to circulate.
Several sources are outright saying that the Rangers' locker room is toxic right now.
Anyway, here's what just came out.
Adam Fox's name is starting to circulate in trade rumors
Here's an extremely interesting name.
In my humble opinion, the Montreal Canadiens really need to do everything they can to try and acquire him.
Jeff Gorton knows him very well, Kent Hughes knows him very well, Martin St-Louis knows him well, and if he's really available, it's a golden opportunity.
- Charles-Alexis Brisebois
- Renaud Lavoie
Anyway, things are shaking up in New York.
And as the renowned Larry Brooks, a New York journalist, just mentioned, Adam Fox's name is starting to circulate.
This is huge.
We're probably talking about one of the top 5 defensemen in the world! This is also one of the topics that Renaud Lavoie discussed this morning:
You should know that Fox's no-trade clause kicks in in a few months, so if the Rangers want to trade him, they need to do it fairly quickly.
And what would you give in exchange for a star player like Adam Fox, who is still quite young?
Adam Fox, 26 years old, is a defenseman (right-handed too!) who has 22 points in 27 games this season, after recording 73 points in 72 games last season.
He is a Norris Trophy candidate every year.
He earns 9.5 million dollars per year until 2029, but he's absolutely worth it.
