Calgary Flames GM Darryl Sutter is a man who can admit a move or two may have gone off the tracks. That seems to be the case with both Olli Jokinen and Alex Tanguay, who went from ex-Flames to big parts of the puzzle in 2010-11 after re-signing with Calgary Thursday on the first day of free-agent signings in the NHL.
