Maybe not though, so who knows.

This does not explain why he didn't sign in Carolina, though. At the time the Hurricanes had Faulk, Pesce and vanReimsdyk on the right side, so arguably more room for Fox. I think it is pretty well established that there was never a real option for the Flames to sign Fox. He was pretty obviously intent to play out his college career into free agency.
