Politics are always an unfortunate variable at play in all walks of life—even in professional sports, too. When deliberating about what NHL defenseman is deserved of the Norris trophy this season, there are no reasons why it shouldn’t be in New York Rangers Adam Fox‘s grasp. That is other than the politics.
In 55 games played, Fox tallied 47 points—42 of which were assists as he has established himself as the most effective power play quarterback in the league in only his sophomore season.
