If Fox isn't going to sign with the Canes he should tell them that in very direct ways.
If the player does that, then I have no issue with it.

That may have happened behind the scenes to be honest.
The team never wants that to get out publicly though because when it does then it's bye bye trade value.
IMO the fact that the Carolina based reporters (aka those closest to the team) are now all out saying that nothing has been determined yet may be part of this. Try and keep the mystery going to at least try and re-coup some type of asset via a trade if you can.
Based on what I posted above, and on Carolina having a log jam of RH d-men already, it would be unlikely for him to sign there. Why sign in a place with 4 quality RH d-men NHLers right now when you'd be RFA at the same time if you just wait.
