Fox can’t be on the top pair. When I think of a top pair, I think of Staal and Girardi. Didn’t matter who was on the other team, they were always able to shut down the opposing top lines for the most part. Sid in his prime, Ovi, etc. We don’t have that right now. Fox is best suited as a 2nd pair to get away from the responsibility of going up against another teams top line and not have to focus on that.
Our defense is to small and needs 2 of Lindgren Fox Jones moved. We can keep 1, but can’t have all 3.
Get a big, physical defenseman that can go up against another teams top line and let them be the shutdown pair. Miller for Xjehai?
