I just don't understand how 50/50 is a bad thing at this point. And trying to bump up the chance he signs in Calgary based on essentially nothing is even stranger. All I'm saying is it is still a coin flip. Anything more than that is just hopeful enthusiasm, which isn't a bad thing.
I flat out do not know which way Fox goes. Nor do any other of us fans.
What I do know is people want fox, he has trade value and Can be used a nice chip to get what you want.
You brought up your ranked list order of D prospects yesterday and had Fox at the top of Do not trade.
I get it. But I disagree, Kylington and Andersson and Valimaki are equally on top of the do not trade list with fox on the outside.

Entirely disagree.
They are not all equal. Valimaki is the surest thing to be an impact NHLer. Fox has the highest ceiling. Andersson is already there as far as NHL ready and, along with Fox, is a RH shot which is the rarer side.
Kylington is a distant 4th on that list for those reasons as well as him being a LH shot,and a propensity thus far of making the big gaffes in his own end as a pro thus far.
Doubtful Kylington has a whole lot of trade value around the league so any deal for a guy like Hayes has you having to part with someone more desirable to your partner, which is why the Fox name was brought up.
