Admittedly a 2nd is more likely, but I don't think a 1st is out of the question.
For example, it's pretty well known that Boston and Pittsburgh are interested in Iginla to bolster their wing. Is it that unreasonable to think that the looser of those sweepstakes are going to look at Tanguay or Cammalleri as an consolation?
I don't see Pittsburgh being too upset at acquiring Tanguay to feed Crosby beauties.
And I'll agree that some GMs may be hesitant considering his play in Tampa... but we are talking about a highly talented winger who's played on the top line most of his career and earned a special little ring.
