I think Fox, at the time of the trade, was by far the Flames' best prospect.
Now he's a top 3 defense prospect in all of hockey.

However, unless he becomes a top 2 defenseman (which is quite possible), I think the Flames win the trade.

I don't put too much weight in Fox not wanting to sign in Calgary. I believe the Flames could and would have traded away Kulak, Kylington, and Andersson just to accommodate Fox. It Fox didn't want to sign in Calgary, it was probably mostly because there was too much competition. The Flames also have a poor record of developing defensemen after their done with the CHL or NCAA.

At the end of the day, Fox was a great pick for the third round, and I'm just glad the Flames got good value there. A lot better than the Kanzig pick, lol.
