I'm liking this deal for the Flames. They need some serious scoring punch and Tanguay can do that! Since the Flames defense is so deep already this is a great move. As for the Avs...don't care.
Posted - 06/26/2006 : 08:18:16 I think this was a great deal for the Flames. They badly needed someone to play with Iginla and Tanguay can score. I still think they need a true #1 center to play between them. The Avs let go of Tanguay due to cap issues as they hope to sign Blake. I would have rather kept Tanguay and let Blake go.

Posted - 06/25/2006 : 23:12:31 This isn't a very good deal for the avalanche. Tanguay is a top forward who is just entering his prime. Leopold is a decend d-man but not on the same level. The Avs must have been trying to save room under the cap.
