He’s a top 20 d-man in the league. But he’s not a top 5, regardless of what the Norris nominations and advanced stats say.

One of the concerns with dmen like Fox is their stats require that they get paid as a #1 dman, but can you win with a guy like that? So far - no.
So you are allocating a good amount of your cap to him, because the stats require it, but it may actually hinder your ability to win.
Montreal with face the same thing when eventually Hutson needs to be paid.
