Adam Fox, for some reason, became the topic of many discussions with disgruntled fans. There was good reason to be disgruntled, as the Rangers were trash and more was expected of the leadership group, including Fox. But that displeasure led to odd arguments that Fox wasn't good and was overpaid. Yet in a down year with likely only 1.5 fully functional knees, Fox still put up 10 goals and 61 points in 74 games
Brodzinski made a name for himself in 2023-2024, turning a call up into an extended look and a well earned two year contract extension. Brodzinski was again overall fine for the Rangers, playing in 51 games and scoring a solid 12 goals and 19 points. Brodzinski was actually 8th on the Rangers in goals last season. In a predominately fourth line role.
