This is absolutely true. I guess I put that in there to illustrate just how much better of a player Tanguay is/was. The fact remains that Jones is still being consistently outproduced by Tanguay. I get that Tanguay mailed it in ('pouted') after Iginla left, but that shouldn't have reduced his value to the rest of the league. At least, not to the point where he was swapped for a buyout candidate.
