So Tinordi would deserve a call-up based right now?
If those rumors about Beaulieu getting showcased are real, could it just be a matter of the Habs wanting to dispose of Beaulieu before calling up Tinordi? Or would Pateryn be the next-in-line, as Tinordi continues to develop?
I would be surprised to see MB trade Beaulieu.
We see that he has great skills and he is probably the best d-men in our prospect pool that has a good chance at top-2 if not top-4.
Habs management want to build with the prospect pool.
Jagr wanted the moon for playing in the Habs jersey. Tinordi is long future and next year He will be the man with Subban. Diaz, Murray, Bouillon wiill be gone and Markov could be on the table
Seems strange that Jagr who signed for 2M + 2M performance bonus (seems he will likely get those extra 2M) would ask for much more to play with us.
As for Diaz and Markov,
MB is negotiating with them.
At this point Diaz is fourth in TOI, second in SH TOI and he can play on the PP.
His -4 is not good but still better than Bouillon, Murray and Emelin.
Bouillon and Murray will most likely be gone.
We will need space for Tinordi, Beaulieu and Pateryn.
But expecting MB to change more than 2 d-men does not fit the pattern up to now. So one of Bouillon, Murray and Diaz will stay.
