For the purpose of this I'm going to focus on the two big names.

Dan02 · 07-01-2010, 04:48 PM

intrigued.

DaQwiz · 07-01-2010, 04:48 PM

like them

better team now than before nuff said

Iowa_Flames_Fan · 07-01-2010, 04:49 PM

I was not expecting these moves at all, but I have a hunch that Sutter has pulled another rabbit out. Very good value for both players, and if both can have a rebound year, he'll look like a genius.

Flash Walken · 07-01-2010, 04:49 PM

I like both moves.

theTrumanShow · 07-01-2010, 04:49 PM

gonna be sick. looks like another long year. i hope sutter does something else because this will not help us get a playoff spot.

Flickered Flame · 07-01-2010, 04:49 PM

Shocked. I understand bringing Tanguay back and imo it is a good rate for him. But I am completely baffled at the Jokinen signing.

I don't Sutter is done yet. I think the writing is on the wall for Langkow to be moved and I still think Regehr is going to have a new team to play for.

burn_this_city · 07-01-2010, 04:49 PM

I would have preferred moving in a different direction.

BBQorMILDEW · 07-01-2010, 04:50 PM

Truthfully, I feel awful.

I think that Darryl Sutter has lost his mind.

jeremywilhelm · 07-01-2010, 04:50 PM

No option for a WTF is going on?

Cause that's how I feel.

I_H8_Crawford · 07-01-2010, 04:50 PM

This team needed to upgrade their top 3.

I'm still waiting for that upgrade to come.

Robbob · 07-01-2010, 04:50 PM

cap friendly hit for the duo with a very good chance of them playing and contributing above their contract. Good postion to be in.

Eddie Bronze · 07-01-2010, 04:50 PM

"You can't go home again". I am totally against bringing back old faces. This team needed an injection of new blood not the same old.

Ren · 07-01-2010, 04:51 PM

I don't dislike them, in fact I like the Tanguay move a lot. Jokinen is a head scratcher but for the price I'm not complaining. Jackman and Ivanans I'm not so keen on.

I guess I'm just kind of underwhelmed more than anything. Maybe it's my own fault for expecting too much but I don't think we made a significant enough improvement to our top 6.

With that said, it's still only July 1st and I don't see this being our opening roster. The center situation is just too weird for me to believe this is it.

JBO88 · 07-01-2010, 04:51 PM

I feel like crying and am even more embarassed to be a Flames fan. Just when I thought Sutter couldn't screw up even more, he managed to prove me wrong once again. These moves reak of desperation and instead of wondering if we are a playoff team team, I think we should be discussing if we are a lottery team

How do you do that though? Spezza maybe is the only guy I can think of that you could have maybe made a move for.

I don't disagree - but a lot of teams need to upgrade their top 3.

Weiser Wonder · 07-01-2010, 04:52 PM

Jokinen I would prefer to move on from, but it's not terrible. Tanguay's deal, I really like. I went with option 2.

Why would you be embarassed?

I don't get that reaction.

bubbsy · 07-01-2010, 04:52 PM

there's gotta be a "taking a wait and see approach" option ....

I like them, but it doesn't really matter if I like them or not - it will matter in a few months on the ice. If Jokinen puts up a 25 goal year, and Tanguay gets 50 assists, then we will look back at Sutter as a genius.

I don't think anyone believes that these are moves that will help us win the cup - we are still missing an additional elite level forward.
