Proposal: Isles - Canes

[blinkman360]

to NYI: Adam Fox, RHD

to CAR: Michael Dal Colle, LW

Isles get a kid with huge upside who apparently has a 0% chance of signing with Carolina. A guy who has openly expressed his interest to play in NY. He's a Long Island kid and trading for him now will give the Isles a head start over the Rangers on luring him over.

Carolina gets a former top-5 pick who has developed terribly to this point. I'm not going to pretend like he has great value - or even decent value - because he doesn't. He IS, however, a kid who is still incredibly young and has the pedigree, so it's possible that a team such as Carolina could view him as someone who could just use a change of scenery. Although the production has been really disappointing, the upside is still there.

What source do you have that Fox isn't signing here?

...Isles get a kid with huge upside who apparently has a 0% chance of signing with Carolina...

Waddell literally today:

(On Adam Fox): "I'd say it's 99.9 percent we will get him signed," Waddell said. "I don't see it being as issue at all."

Could defensive prospect Adam Fox give the Hurricanes the edge in the Calgary trade?

Get that trash out of here. It has NEVER been reported that there was 0% chance Fox signed with Carolina. Wishful thinking turned into a false reality.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

It depends on your fandom I suppose, but I think this is a case of a kid trying to leverage his status for NHL minutes and money.

 

[Riseonfire]

Good idea, but doubt Carolina would bite. If he heads to UFA I'd love to have him though.

 

[DaveG]

I MIGHT take that at the 2020 NHL draft, assuming he's still not signed and the Rangers don't offer us a mid-round pick instead. But by his literal words and the literal words of the Canes GM this week I don't think they're going to have an issue coming to terms on a contract after Harvard's season this year.

1) Teams don't trade players they have just acquired generally.
2) Dal Colle is almost certainly a bust while Fox is looking quite good.

No way in hell the canes do that

0% chance of Fox signing?

0% chance of Fox signing?

If he wouldn’t sign with the glorious Canadian franchise of Calgary why would he agree to play for the Carolina?

Can't remember who it was - some Calgary beat writer - was on NHL Network radio after the trade with the Canes and said zero-point-zero (RIP Eric the Actor) chance of signing. That was a pretty bold statement, usually guys will throw the 1% out there just to cover their own ass, so I figured he had some sort of inside info. Maybe he was talking out of his rear though. I'll try to find his name..

It was Eric Francis, Flames beat writer. A little chapped ass writing because Fox had let it be known that he wasn't signing in Calgary

0% chance of signing with the Flames.

Dal Colle looked much improved playing in the isles prospect game last night for what it’s worth

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

What a garbage offer

 

[tarheelhockey]

I’d do it. Fox is a lost cause and Dal Colle still has that huge upside.

A 22 year old looks good in his millionth prospect camp? No way!

 

[greasysnapper]

Honestly, it's probably worth it for Carolina to get something. Fox is totally going to pull a Vesey and get as much money as he can. They'd have about as equal an opportunity to sign him after his senior year if they traded him as they would if they kept him. Might as well get a free asset.

Indeed, way to try to get value for nothing OP.

Fox was quoted today as having never said he’d not sign in Calgary. There’s an interview on the Canes website where he literally says he wants the get to the NHL ASAP. He even alludes to signing after his college season is up, which seems to be what Waddell is 99.9% will happen as well.

With all the shit coming out of Calgary about Hamilton being such a locker room problem, it seems they also want to project that on Fox as well. That beat writer from Calgary also just resigned, I would take what he says with a huge grain of salt.

All that said, sure, there’s a chance Fox refuses to sign with CAR. But, for a kid who’s clearly said he wants to play in the NHL sooner rather than later, do you really think he wants to wait 2 more years? It’s possible, but with everything said over the past 2 days, it looks like he’s going through sign with CAR towards the end of next season. I don’t think Waddell would go on record like today, if he hadn’t already gotten a firm insinuation from Fox that he was open the signing after his junior year. He’d look like a complete fool if he’s wrong.

If he doesn’t sign next March or April, I’m pretty sure CAR could do better than a failed prospect.

You do realize that just like Vesey, Fox is going to be subject to the rules regarding ELCs, so he can't get any more money from one team as he can from another, right?

People who go off like that generally have no clue what they’re talking about.
