Really excited about this player.

I don't think it's a crazy comparison. In their draft years, Fox's NHLe was 24 and Bruz' was 22. They've developed differently since then. Fox's first full NHL year was at the age of 21 so he's ahead of Bru in that regard by a year. But, the way he played last night, it's going to be tough to send him down at the moment. Not suggesting a Fox caliber player should be expected, but I certainly understand the comparison. Bru was really noticeable last night in a very good way.
