I bet you 4 or 5 of them are waived and claimed later today......it's easy to see how Tanguay would slip through the cracks when so many are freely available.

2. Tanguay had one year out of a 13 year career where point per game totals slipped to a lowly, despicable, embarrassing 0.46 points per game. Yes, you read that correctly. 0.46 points per game!! I honestly cannot believe he is still in the league after that disgusting season. He should be in the ECHL, or Europe at least.

3. He's a Flames player. Our players are all garbage because they are part of a losing team. Nobody ever wants players from a losing team, especially pathetic ones who only chalk up 0.80 points per game for the mammoth cost of Tanguay's $3.5 million cap hit.

4. He's signed at 5% of the total cap number until he's 36. 5% of next years cap until he's THIRTY SIX! He'll likely be nothing more than a pile of dust by then, and what GM would want to pay less than 5% of their cap for a pile of dust?

Surely you not serious.
