Both are good prospects and it could go either way. If Fox was still Flames property, he vs Dube would be a close vote in our prospect poll.

Cale Makar plays in the top Division in the NCAA—the same Division where Gaudreau spent his college career. Fox plays in the ECAC, which is probably the worst of the four. His production iOS impressive, but it remains a HUGE question as to whether it will translate smoothly to the next level.
I don't know how the rest of CP will vote, but in the last ranking Adam Fox was behind all three of the Flames's top defensemen, and was only two places ahead of Dube in his draft year. Last year Dube was the number-three ranked prospect in the annual poll, and placed ahead of Parson, Kylington and Gillies—all of whom ranked ahead of Fox the last time they were ranked.
