In your opinion, what are realistic expectations for Tangradi?

Find someone who is. Seriously, find a prospect who was a point per game player in the AHL. Its not an easy task. Your point per game scorers in the AHL are career minor leaguers and elite level talents, and even that (Zach Parise) isn't a guarantee.
He's not even 24 years old yet. He started playing professional hockey at the same age Kunitz and Malone started their college hockey careers. When those two players were Tangradi's current age, they were finishing the senior seasons. He's young. He's an imperfect player, just like 99% of the league. He needs time. He needs coaching. He might make it in the NHL or he might not, but at this current stage of his development that doesn't mean he sucks. He's just not meeting your unrealistic expectations.

Shero traded for Tangradi. Who cares about Matt Moulson?
Matt Moulson was here when Shero joined and was forced to shed contracts at the Pro level. He chose not to keep Matt Moulson - who was someone at the time that I expressed disappointment in the organization cutting ties to.
Now we have this slug who everyone (our GM and Coach included) seems to find not only reason to keep around, but to HAND him a top six audtion for which he has done NOTHING to earn other than to be big. It's a travesty.

"Keep him around" on Geno's line? I'm asinine? Bro, you have no clue.\
By the way, his 4th Pro season is a joke to this point.

My point is that he had shown an NHL level shot when the Pens cut ties. Tangradi has shown nothing.
I still have my Cup run towels and the pics with it, so I haven't forgotten.

No clue? Learn how to read. Where did I ever offer my support for Tangradi playing on Malkin's line? He doesn't belong there and probably won't last long. It's obvious what the Pens are doing. This is his last shot to show he belongs in the lineup and after that his future becomes a very large question mark. He's still young and no matter how unlikely it is, there is still the potential that some legitimate time on the Malkin's will make things click for him. My guess is he spends most of the season as a healthy scratch unless they're willing to expose him to waivers to send him back to WBS.
All I did is point out your unrealistic expectations, question the need to grieve the loss of a fringe player 6 years ago, and that your desire to dump off a once "prized" prospect before he receives his last shot is stupid.

Here's the thing about Tangradi, he produces in the AHL playing in a top 6 role. I dont get to see any WB/S games .....I mean look at James Neal the first 20-30 games he was here, didn't he only have 1-2 goals? Playing with Malkin he just dropped 40.
