The sting of Adam Fox forcing his way out before he had any value is greatly reduced if the Flames still have Noah Dobson in the fold because they didn't trade that pick for a few years of an older, expensive and broken down Travis Hamonic.

Who knows if Adam Fox even forces his way out if he sees a roster spot for the taking. Of course people say he was always going to New York, but most guys just want to play in the NHL. Being drafted by a team with Hamilton, Hamonic, Stone, Andersson on the right side at defense, and then traded to a team with Hamilton, Faulk, Pesce, sure made that a no-brainer. If Conroy does his job well, a hypothetical "next Fox" might just sign, no drama. Guys of that calibre expect a #1PP, top pair role off the bat. It takes a GM with balls to execute.
