If Fox pans out and he turns into a top 4 or top pairing defenseman, maybe we eventually "lose" this trade.
But I'm ok with losing a trade like this. We gave up an asset from a position of organizational strength and finally acquired a RW for the top line. We currently have 4 NHL ready 22 year old (or younger) D-men on our NHL roster. We don't have room for another, we don't really have room for all 4 of them.
It's not like we traded Hall for Larsson.
