Carolina Hurricanes’ prospect Adam Fox completed his junior season at Harvard following the team’s 4-0 loss to UMass on Friday. The Carolina Hurricanes, of course, are not the New York Rangers. So who cares?
Well, the Rangers should care. Carolina holds Fox’s rights until August 15th, 2020. As such, Fox has a few options at his disposal. He can leave college and sign with the Hurricanes. If he doesn’t, then he’ll return to Harvard as a senior for the 2019-2020 season. Once his senior seasons concludes he can then either immediately sign with Carolina or wait until August 16th, at which point he’ll become a free agent.
