Lost In The Madness: Canucks Sign Jeff Tambellini

At about the same time the Hamhuis news broke, it was also mentioned that the Canucks signed Jeff Tambellini, son of Oilers' GM Steve to a 1-year contract worth $500,000. Calgary native Tambellini was drafted 27th overall by the Los Angeles Kings in 2003. He was traded to the Islanders in 2006. During the 2007-08 season he played for the Islanders' AHL affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and set a franchise scoring record with 76 points in 57 games. In 180 NHL games, Tambellini has a mere 18 goals and 46 points and is a -30 (hell he played for the lousy Islanders). He has rarely cracked top 6 minutes, averaging about 11-12 minutes per game in his young NHL career.
In his younger years he played in the BCHL for the Chilliwack Chiefs. He then went to the University of Michigan and played 3 years there and then quit school early to go pro.
Hockey's Future marvels at his speed and 2-way game. Unfortunately his scoring touch has tremendously dipped.
-”The minute I heard the Canucks made me an offer, it was a no-brainer and I didn’t even listen to anything else that came in.” - Love it. More at Canucks.com.

He's got a great wristshot, as Lundqvist found out:

Two-way deal too… wow. Didn’t try and hold out for guaranteed money! Probably could have gotten than from a team with less depth

I like that he’s a winger. Manny can have the third line centre role, we need someone on the wing.
If he can live with bouncing between third and fourth lines, I like him. Speed is always a nice thing to add, and 7 goals and 14 points in 11:30 of ice time per game in 36 games is a fine addition to Vancouver’s depth.
I like
He kinda looks like carter. Why is he doing sex face?

Tambi
Was happy to hear from anyone and get the hell out of NY. For whatever reason him and Gordon didn’t get along at all, and he basically spent the year in the coach’s doghouse. The only playing time he got was mostly earlier in the season. Joel Reichslez, a player who over his career has more PIMs then Ice Time was getting more playing time then Tambi towards the end of the season.
