Adding Fox is intriguing, but definitely not to play Reilly. Reilly needs a solid stay at home partner - think Karlsson and Methot. And as much as this idea is intriguing, I think you may get some window dressing Marner. Play Fox with Muzzin, and it might be interesting.
The Nylander deal is neither here nor there, but he wouldn't be in the top 6 at all. Kappy would move up.
Where is Dermott?
Johnsson is whatever. He is moving.
Overall, I see a weakened forward unit and a blueline that is marginally better at keeping the puck out of the net. So, in conclusion, no as much as adding Fox is interesting. Just not enough defensive improvement to justify the move and offset the loss in offense. Not sure the Rangers do it either just based on the contact.
