Unless he has some doubt in his ability to play pro or he really doesn't like the Flames organization, which there's been no indication of, you think he'd go pro.

Only holdup I can think of is if the flames hardball him on burning a year and possibly getting 10 games if Stockton has a run. Which given the potential expansion draft in a couple years might be a consideration as that 7-3-1 model doesn't leave a lot of room for guys with 3 pro seasons.
That is not the only holdup. The fact that Fox is earning a Harvard degree is a huge incentive all on its own for him to stay in school.
