Adam fox is a shame. We were all hyped for him, its sad that I cant be happy to see him turn out so good. Another one that shouldn't have got away but really what could we have done... The NHL is a privilege to play in not a right. I dont think any player especially a 3rd round pick should be able to decide his destination. These players should be team controlled for their first 4 years pro. If you dont wanna play for the flames....have fun in Russia (or sitting out)! NHL would have to back the teams up.
I would even be in favor of giving up a year or two of the RFA years to have these player controlled so we dont have a Adam Fox situation. Oilers lost a good D too in John Marino, would easily be on their top pairing right now and cost controlled because he didn't want to play for them.
