Adam Fox is the wildcard in the Dougie Hamilton/Noah Hanifin trade. After seeing Elias Lindholm elevate his game in Calgary and seeing Hanifin bounce back from a disappointing season, the general consensus is that for the Carolina Hurricanes to be considered winners of the trade, they need Adam Fox to sign pro terms and step in to the team.
That time is fast approaching, as we looked at in our prospects ranking earlier this week. Fox’s Harvard team is not expected to qualify for the NCAA Frozen Four, and could be available to the Carolina Hurricanes in mid-March.
