Adam Fox doing well in college doesn't mean he's not a long shot prospect. Being undersized and a d-man makes him instantly a long shot prospect.
My point still remains Fox,Gillies and Ferland gets the phone hung up on the Flames, wouldn't you agree?

Nope, don't agree at all. It may not get the deal done because it depends on what Sakic feels he can get on the market. However, those are 3 legitimate players, 2 of which are highly touted prospects with a good pedigree. That should be good enough starting point in discussions to get a player like Duchene, so your position of "hanging up the phone" (which is supposed to indicate disgust from the other GM) is patently ridiculous.
Oh, and Fox is 6 foot. He's not necessarily "undersized", but even if that were the case, he's not small enough to make you wonder if he can play in the NHL like people did with Gaudreau. Besides which, you aren't asking him to be a big physical defender. He's a puck-mover and play-maker, which are a hot commodity for defense prospects in the modern NHL.
You know who else is 6 foot and under 200 pounds? Mark Giordano.
