In his short time with the Habs, Alex Tanguay was a pretty solid player. But he was limited this season due to a separated shoulder that sidelined him for 32 games. In his 50 games, though, he tallied 41 points and was doing some good things for Montreal. Whether his stay in Montreal will last any longer or not is a big question mark. I’m sure both parties were pleased with his production in the limited action, but it’s probably still in limbo whether Tanguay is going back or not. I really think a reunion in Colorado is possible… but watch out for teams like New York, Minnesota, and New Jersey who are in need of a top-six forward.

Current Prediction:
Montreal Canadiens (4 yrs, $20 mil)
