By reports, the Canes wanted Sam. So I can see that Fox was used to complete the deal with Ferland in there instead of Sam
But just because the Flames saw risk in signing him doesn't mean they looked him as a "throw in".
He had value. And that was value was used. In this deal.

This is a comment from the previous page, it's not the first such comment I've seen here, on HFboards or reddit's r/calgaryflames. There are some, albeit not the majority, who view Fox as an un-signable throw in.

Fox had made it known to Calgary he was not signing with them. He had little value in a trade.

Lindholm and Hanifan have been massive additions to our roster so I'm not worried, but at the time of the deal it did appear Fox wasn't given much value.
