The good news is piling up for Rangers fans. With six wins in nine games so far this season, the New York side announced Monday that they have granted defenseman Adam Fox a seven-year contract extension.
Financial details of the pact were not disclosed by the club, but TSN has learned that the full-back has earned an average annual salary of $ 9.5 million.
The 23-year-old American is in his third season in the National Hockey League. (NHL) Since the start of the campaign, he has totaled nine points, which placed him second among the full backs on the circuit heading into Monday’s games.
Drafted in the third round by the Calgary Flames in 2016, Fox played three seasons in the NCAA, from 2016 to 2019 with Harvard University. During this university career, he was traded twice. The Rangers notably acquired him from the Hurricanes in April 2019 in return for two conditional second-round picks.
Since his debut a few months later, he has totaled 15 goals and 98 points in 134 outings.
