Treliving made the comment after the trade. Waddell claims he foresees no problems.
If Fox doesn’t want to sign with a team before being able to go UFA, that legitimately reduces his trade value. If his aversion is particular to the Flames, well there are plenty of examples of GM’s who have extracted exceptional value from players who force a trade.
At this point, the trade is what it is. There have certainly been a few things coming out that have had the effect of reducing the perceived value of the pieces the Flames moved out. Which is a bad look for all involved IMO.
