To assume he was thrown in as having little value seems like a very bad assumption that I’m not sure why some posters at leaping at.

Obviously he had no value to the Flames in this deal. Teams know he's not going to sign with Calgary so they aren't gonna offer up much to acquire him unless they are certain he is going to sign with them, to which there is no real certainty. Fox is also a prospect and not an established player so theirs no guarantee you even gain any value if you know he will sign. Sounds like very little value was placed by both teams, but who really knows.
