Adam Fox is a top 10 defenseman in the entire world. Not just a top 10 defenseman born in the United States, but a top 10 defenseman in the entire world. There is not a country participating in the Olympics that Fox not only should make the team, but also should be in the lineup getting big minutes. Yet somehow Team USA left him off the roster. Adam Fox's Olympic snub is patently absurd, and there is very little logic to explain away Fox's omission.
After arriving from Vancouver, Soucy played just four games before sitting as a healthy scratch, ironically as Adam Fox returned from injury. But Soucy was exceptionally bad in those four games, looking like he was skating in mud and becoming yet another punch line about Chris Drury's moves on defense. The criticism was fair. Soucy's numbers, along with the rest of the Rangers, weren't good.
The Rangers top pair, Adam Fox and Vlad Gavrikov, is set to be one of the best in the league. Fox receives unnecessary criticism, while Gavrikov complements him perfectly.
