His contract still brings him close to 37 when it's over. I don't know what we should have been hoping for for a return but it couldn't have been a ton. I mean the fans of other teams suggesting the Flames got robbed were the same ones laughing yesterday because the Flames had a contract like Tanguays on the team.
I'm not going to mistake Jones for Gretzky any time soon here but if he bounces back at all and chips in a couple goals here and there, I don't know how anyone can consider this an embarrassment. And being 5 years younger than Tanguay there's at least a hope he might be able to contribute as a role player once the rebuild ends.
Was it a win? Nah. Did the Flames lose? I don't see it.
