getting rid of tanguay was because we:
1. were rebuilding
2. wanted to get younger
3. wanted to get bigger
i think Tangs and Sarich booth hat Limited NTC's so thats one... so we had to find the best partner to trade with that would suit us as well... and the second, tangs was the best player in the trade going there way. They needed vets. They have been rebuilding for what seems to be, 3-5 years now and have a collection of youth that now needs to be balanced. We are doing the opposite.
Same money changed hands... but we got younger bigger and a RH shot that the team really needed. If david jones pots in 15-20 goals this year and regains his scoring touch... i think we will be fine.
If this was year 3 of a rebuild and not 1... we would be trading for a sarich/tangs combo.
also side note... speaking of right now ( and not past accomplishments)... SOB > Sarich.
