Hopefully in the next CBA, the loophole that allows US college players to become free agents upon graduation gets plugged.

If a Player drafted at age 18 or 19 is a bona fide college student at the time of his selection in the Entry Draft, or becomes a bona fide college student prior to the first June 1 following his selection in the Entry Draft, and remains a bona fide college student through the graduation of his college class, his drafting Club shall retain the exclusive right of negotiation for his services through and including the August 15 following the graduation of his college class. The Club need not make a Bona Fide Offer to such Player to retain such rights.

Adam Fox let Calgary know that he had no interest in signing with them. Calgary bundled Fox, Ferland and Dougie Hamilton for Hanafin and Lindholm. I would think that Calgary is liking that trade.
Fox balked at signing with Carolina. Carolina dealt Fox to the Rangers for a couple of picks.
Oilers faced a similar situation with John Marino, getting a 6th rounder from Pittsburg. Right now, that trade is looking pretty lopsided.
Like I said, hopefully the next CBA changes the rules around free agency for US college players.
