There was no noise that Fox wouldn't sign before the draft, that's a made up narrative.
Fox was all over the map on pre draft rankings but in most he was in the 50+ range due to his size being a question.
Rankings
McKenzie: 55th
ISS: 44th
Hockey Prospect: 67th
Future Considerations: 36th
Draftbuzz Hockey: 30th
Central Scouting, NA Skaters: 50th
It was a good pick by the Flames and unfortunate he wouldn't sign.
