Bottom line Havlat is a better player right now.

Saying that you would rather have Forsberg, Sakic, and Hejduk over Tanguay is not saying much. Those are three of the best scorers in the game. I might rather have those guys too, but that certainly doesn't suggest that Tanguay isn't also an elite scorer.
I don't see how you can say Havlat is a "better player now." I think Havlat has done great, but for now, Tanguay is more proven and has accomplished more.
If personally would not do Havlat for Tanguay straight up, because I love Havlat's upside. But, I think you are selling a major talent short here.
