The New York Rangers have acquired defense prospect Adam Fox from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a 2019 second-round pick and a conditional third-round pick in 2020, the Rangers announced Tuesday.
The third-rounder becomes a second-round selection if Fox plays at least 30 games for the Rangers next season, the Hurricanes stated in their release.
Fox racked up 48 points in 33 games for Harvard this past season and was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award as the NCAA's top player. Originally a third-round pick of the Calgary Flames in 2016, he was traded to Carolina along with Dougie Hamilton and Micheal Ferland in exchange for Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin this past summer.
The Rangers are in the process of finalizing an entry-level deal for the 21-year-old, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
