I get feeling a lot of folks on this board aren't aware of the ages of the players they follow and how performance declines with age. Tanguay is 33. Jones is 28. Sarich is 34. O'Brien is 29.

In two seasons Jones will be scoring more than Tanguay and Sarich will be retired.

This is the kind of deal rebuilding teams make.
