Fox is a tool. I really hope he has the same faith as Tom.. sign with the damn team that drafted you and stop being so entitled (especially when he has proven nothing at the NHL level).

As for the Rangers - must be nice to have all these young prospects and free agents wanting to sign with you. They still suck though and haven't done anything with the gifts they have gotten.

Erixon 2.0?

I usually don't want to wish players failure in the league. Fox has just played the rules to suit his purpose. It is bad form though. I'm glad Flames were able to extract some value from him.

I can recall a few trades being made during the playoffs but I can't recall a time that a team made a trade while still being in the playoffs themselves

Not really signed with the Hurricanes, so it is a future asset being traded. All rumours were talking about the conversation being on-going for quite some time.

Did NYR get to talk to him beforehand or are they just going with a feeling he will quit school?

This kid better stay put now. Pretty demanding and high maintenance for a non first-rounder who hasn't even played a pro game anywhere yet.

Joke is on them. He'll probably want to play for Boston now.

He can go back to school and still would have signed with the Rangers after his senior year IMO. This just gets him a signing bonus and starts him getting closer to RFA sooner if he so chooses.

This was pretty much his end game all along...and I have little doubt that "through the grapevine" he was assured that the Rangers would sign him.

Good player and really a good spot for him to land in terms of where the team is on their rebuild.

I'm not sure what it is he "demanded"?

Not defending him not wanting to sign in Calgary, but every player has that option with every team.

@FriedgeHNIC

The conditional third for Fox becomes a second if he plays 30 games next year

Hamilton, Ferland, 2019-NYR 2nd and conditional 2020-3rd (possible 2nd) for Hanifin and Lindholm

I think he was going to sign in Carolina if they could get him in games this year and the plan for Carolina was to trade a top-6 to make room for him


However that became hard to do when Carolina didn't trade anyone at the deadline and were in a dog fight to make the playoffs. And now in the playoffs, fox obviously isn't better than anyone in the top 6 for Carolina.
