Take Two: Alex Tanguay Signs 1-Year/$1.7M Deal With CGY

PrintIt's official--Alex Tanguay has returned for a second go-around with the Flames after the two parted ways at the 2008 NHL Draft, when a rift between Tanguay and then head coach Mike Keenan forced the winger out of town. Both Darryl Sutter and Jarome Iginla have praised Tanguay's playmaking skills and lamented his absence--Iginla scored fifty goals in 2007-08 will Tanguay on his wing--and Sutter claimed that the Quebec native was skilled enough to win a scoring title. Tanguay himself scored a career-high 81 points in his first season with the Flames. While Tanguay's numbers have dropped off in his past two seasons (just 10-27-37 and -2 with Tampa last season, although he still managed 16-25-41 in only 50 games in 08-09 with the Candiens), he fits the bill as a left-winger and a top-six forward, and for just $1.7M, he could prove to be very good value. What do you think?

I'm happy with the Tanguay signing.
As usual though, I am not happy with Daz.
"Where do you go from here, Dion?" "I go to Toronto."
Spreading that Calgary Flames, Montreal Expos, The U, and Orlando Magic love.
The votes thus far say it all me thinks. Tanguay is easy to like, and its clear that he and Iggy worked great together.
the votes thusfar say “yes” because there were only two options. there should have been a “not terrible but sutter could’ve done better.”

“It is rare that I am afraid to report a trade rumor, but what Calgary may be about to do is terrifying.”
:( Any ideas who may be getting shipped out?
The only trade the Flames could make as far as the player going away would be trading Iginla. As far as players coming in, there are tons of poor choices.

I’m not only suprised. I’m awkwardly confused.
