A college players ability to stay put is the difference and gives them leverage they shouldn't have. The league should figure out a way to remove that leverage, but they won't because it rarely happens. Just so happens in this case it cost the Flames a #1D man.
If Fox was in the OHL or CHL he could have just been drafted the Rangers with a low pick after refusing to sign.
