With the trade deadline looming, trade rumors are taking over the NHL. In that regard, the New York Rangers<\/a> find themselves in the midst of it all. This wasn\u2019t what Mike Sullivan<\/a> had in mind when he signed in New York. Still, it\u2019s the reality for the Broadway Blueshirts in the 2025-26 campaign. Ahead of the trade deadline (March 6), the Rangers are setting shop, listening to calls from across the league on their top assets. <\/p>\n

New York has sent out mixed signals to its players ahead of the NHL trade deadline. On the one hand, Sullivan has put the Rangers on high alert<\/a> with a bold message amid the trade buzz. On the other, he made a sincere comment about a crucial Rangers star as others face trade rumors<\/a>. <\/p>\n

One thing is clear, though: no one in New York is happy with the way the 2025-26 NHL<\/a> season has played out, nor with the fact that the Rangers must now part ways with key players. However, they have no choice. All the Blueshirts can do is embrace their role as sellers. <\/p>\n

Adam Fox could ask for trade out of New York<\/p>\n

Still, they have no desire to move on from certain players. In that category, defenseman Adam Fox emerges and poses a very interesting question for the Rangers. According to a report, Fox\u2014widely seen as a franchise player in New York\u2014could ask for a trade out of the pit the Rangers find themselves in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a guy who wanted to be a Ranger; but if it\u2019s going to be a rebuild, you know, he might not want that,\u201d insider Elliotte Friedman stated on the FAN Hockey Show.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Fox\u2019s contract and situation<\/p>\n

Despite being selected by the Calgary Flames in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft and first traded to the Carolina Hurricanes, every game Fox has played in during his NHL career has been with the Blueshirts. In the blink of an eye, it could all change for Fox. The 28-year-old could go from being among the candidates to wear the \u2018C\u2019 in New York\u2014which J.T. Miller was awarded\u2014to packing his bags, with only months in between. <\/p>\n

At the moment, it\u2019s only noise, though. Any decision is Fox\u2019s to make. His seven-year, $66.5 million contract with the Rangers includes a full no-movement clause (NMC) through the 2026\u201327 season. During the last two seasons of his deal, the clause flips to a modified no-trade clause (M-NTC), as Fox must hand the Rangers a 16-team no-trade list. Thus, if he wants to leave ahead of the trade deadline, he must waive his NMC first. <\/p>\n

Contrary to Artemi Panarin\u2019s situation earlier in the season, Fox is not a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA), so the Rangers will have no rush to work out a trade. Panarin could use his situation for leverage; Fox cannot\u2014although he might not be speaking softly anymore, and he is known to carry a stick.<\/p>\n
