Jones will be overpaid for sure, but Tanguay would've been as well.
I agree completely, I would say It's not what we got in return (salary and all), but basically trading the older, yet effective offensive winger for basically a downgrade while gaining nothing in return except added salary. If there was even a 3-4th round pick involved I would have absolutely no problem with the deal.
