Team USA Made Its Decision About Adam Fox After 4 Nations
Friedman: “So one other thing with the Rangers, Kyle, did you see Adam Fox post-game?
Fox: “I mean, I’m just attempting to, you understand, concentrate on this 12 months straight away and play each game. I mean, that’s really all I could, could do straight away. Could, could control is, you understand, I used to be just attempting to work to get back and help the team finish strong. So I feel that’s, that’s where my head’s at. Obviously, you understand, that’s the main focus straight away. And I feel that’s a conversation once we’re done playing games. We’re attempting to win games and do this tonight, and I feel that’s where, that’s where my focus is straight away.”
Bukauskas: “That appears like a man that’s really beginning to take into consideration his future.”
Friedman: “What that claims to me is that’s an end-of-season conversation.”
Bukauskas: “Yes.”
Friedman: “And the one thing I’m going to watch out with here is that, this can be a guy who moved heaven and earth, as was his right under CBA rules, this can be a guy who moved heaven and earth to turn into a Ranger. So to me it’s all about everybody take a outing and we’ll see how we feel in regards to the end of the season. But that’s one other thing to keep watch over with the Rangers.
NHLRumors.com Note: This story between Adam Fox and the Latest York Rangers has been brewing because the start of the season. Head coach Mike Sullivan commented on Fox’s game and said he thought he could play at a fair higher level. Fox, like the remainder of the Rangers, didn’t have a fantastic 2024-25 season, but Fox has rebounded nicely and has shown he can still be an elite defenseman within the NHL.
NHL Rumors: Latest York Rangers; Gavrikov, Trocheck, Brodzinski and Quick
As mentioned on the Podcast, the Rangers and Adam Fox will revisit this at the top of the season because, as of Letter 2.0, Fox, J.T. Miller, Mika Zibanejad, and Igor Shesterkin weren’t going anywhere. But given how Fox was left off the Olympic Team, with other Rangers going as Sullivan and GM Chris Drury lobbied for them to get on, Fox is contemplating a move and whether he matches in Sullivan’s system.
The Latest York Rangers are open for business. It would be interesting to see how far this rebuild goes. Because that’s what it’s. Not a retool.

NHL Rumors: San Jose Sharks Will Be Cautious Buyers on the Deadline
Arda Ocal: “Take us through some names that you just do expect to see on the move before the deadline next Friday.
Emily Kaplan: “Well, a middle getting a ton of interest straight away is Nazem Kadri with the Calgary Flames. I feel they’ve had a conversation with him. He’s open to being moved. And clearly, he’d get a ton of interest across the league. I’d keep watch over the Colorado Avalanche and the Dallas Stars.
The St Louis Blues, I even have heard are shopping their players, hard, very high asking prices, is what I keep hearing. But Jordan Kyrou, Robert Thomas, and Justin Faulk are all in the combo.
And sort of an under the radar guy, but Connor Murphy of the Chicago Blackhawks. Think that trade could get done sometime in the subsequent few days.”
