This is not new. There is a reason Fox was not drafted until the second round, and Flames fans have been cautiously optimistic for a while.
Fox is a really good prospect. He is not the best prospect the Flames have ever had, to say nothing of the fact that there were better players in the system at the time of the trade.

I don’t disagree with your last paragraph and I’m sure people did raise those issues in this thread - after he was traded and no longer a CGY asset.
It could be that people were consistently raising those issues when he was drafted and in CGY system. I don’t recall that. I recall people commenting on how good he was in his freshman year and how good he looked playing with and against top competition at international events.
