It'll be pretty easy to declare us the winner if we take Ferland and Fox out of it cause we think they weren't going to sign here. Too bad that's not how it works - Fox's camp maintains they never said they wouldn't sign here and regardless, BT still had 2 years to convince him otherwise. Even if Fox doesn't want to sign here, he's still a valuable trade chip and it's BT's job to figure out which teams he's open to signing with and maximize the return.
Pretty hard to argue Fox's value to our team was absolutely zero, whether you think he was signing here or not.
