nobody is counting on that ^^ but if a player has two 20+ goal seasons and then somehow drops to freaking 3 in a shortened season, I don't think it's foolish to hope that he just needs a change of scenery and can excel on a weak team like the Flames. Tanguay on the other hand clearly mailed it in after Iginla and Bouwmeester were traded and I for my part don't want to have such a floating vet on a rebuilding team. This is a team that needs guidance by vets who play with heart and Tanguay probably wouldn't have done that. Not too sad to see him gone, just give his ice time to Sven
Plus, and I really think that is a big plus, you swap one of your 427 left wings for a right wing.
