Please show me any prospect that on his own was flipped for a first round draft pick. Fox's value wasn't close to that, and most teams would have waited to aquire him, and also would have on a individual basis of a trade with time talked to people around Fox about his intention to sign with the Flames and that would have driven his value down.
The descriptor of Ferland has been exaggerated now that he's been traded. His consistency was a problem, as was his day to day effort level. He was 26 and as much as people will say his potential had only be scratched, Ferland was what he was going to be. That's not saying he was a bad player, far from it, but he was a bottom 6 forward that could be moved to a top 6 role but not on a permanent basis.
