During the 2015–16 season, his second professional year within the Canucks organization, Fox was primarily assigned to secondary affiliate, the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL. In leading the Wings in scoring with 50 points in 53 games, Fox was still unable to gain promotion to the AHL with the Utica Comets on a full-time basis and on March 7, 2016, Fox was traded by the Canucks to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for future considerations, in which a minor-league loan of players was completed.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/canucks-trade-dane-fox-to-hurricanes-for-future-considerations/ | title = Canucks trade Dane Fox to Hurricanes for future considerations | work = Sportsnet.ca | date = 2016-03-07 | access-date = 2016-03-07}}</ref> Fox was directly assigned to the AHL with the Charlotte Checkers.
As a free agent in the off-season from the Hurricanes, Fox opted to continue in the ECHL, signing a one-year deal with the Missouri Mavericks on August 25, 2016.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.echl.com/carzo-fox-bolster-mavericks-forward-unit | title = Carzo, Fox bolster Mavericks forward unit | work = ECHL | date = 2016-08-25 | access-date = 2016-08-25 | archive-date = August 26, 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160826215006/http://www.echl.com/carzo-fox-bolster-mavericks-forward-unit | url-status = dead }}</ref>
