That beauty queen definitely scored more than Tangradi will.

Well, his ice time has dwindled fairly steadily from about 12 minutes to 5 more or less.
Talk about mismanaging talent. Just give him a real chance. Not a chance where he's worried that if he's not good his ice time will decrease. He needs more time to suck out loud, at least 25 mins a night to show his real potential. If only HCDB would've listened to me.

Tangradi with his SECOND point of the year last night. Looks like we got fleeced in that trade.

Yeah he was labeled as having a game similar to a young Todd Bertuzzi. Then we actually got to see him. No hands, no physicality, no speed, no hockey smarts, no edge, nothing.
1. He played 5 games with the Penguins this season. He contributed to more goals than Boychuk so far, fwiw.
2. The vast majority of his NHL games have come on the 4th line.
3. In the AHL, he's scored @ .35 goals per game.
4. He averaged as many hits per game on the 4th line last year as Adams and Cooke.
5. For WBS in the playoffs last year, he upped his game and improved his regular season scoring pace.
In the spirit of Draftnik, those are facts. No hands? No physicality? No hockey smarts? The facts tell a different story. My assessment is that he has no confidence. The fault for that surely lies at his feet as much as it does at the teams', but regardless, it was obvious he wasn't going to get a chance here. So good luck to him in Winnipeg.
This argument will be revisited in about 1 year when we check in on the season Tangradi is having with them, when he's finally turned 24, which is statistically when his type of player "finds their game." Crow will be served. But to whom?
