As far as the trade goes, I don't get it. Unless Tanguay was so unhappy here that he had to be moved. We just sent one of our only skilled forwards away for a big body with little talent.

Baertschi, Hudler, Cammalleri, Backlund, Stajan...... you tell me more skilled or tough? That is 5 guys that can fill in for Tanguay's minutes... Stempniak makes 6.
The only guy the Flames have close to Jones is Glencross. Not an accident that Colorado was forced to pay him the 4M as a UFA.
He is a commodity... similar to Bourque .... a big guy who can score and bang in the corners. He is liable to be assigned to look after Baertschi and Backlund on the Flames #1 unit.
Sarich was a great team guy but O'Brien is supposed to stand up tor teammates and will still drop the gloves. O'Brien is a Heavy weight in the leagues and Sarich was only considered a Heavy weight because he played so big relative to the rest of the Flames.
