He can enjoy competing with Jake Bean now though if his intent wasn't to sign.

How do you know that Fox told the Flames he was or wasn't going to sign here? Why do you think that information would be made public? He was a valuable trade asset for the Flames, if they came out and said he wasn't planning on signing, his trade value plummets.
