He's been off to a good year offensively from what I can tell and have heard on the Sharks board.
I figured since he's playing a large role on a team stacked with some of the high profile prospects from a couple of other teams that there would be people outside of the Sharks fandom that are likely to have seen him in person over the course of this year and could give first-hand impressions and updates.

Talent Analysis
Chris Tierney is an intelligent hockey player; and a born winner. With an active stick and good skating, his defensive play predominately stands out; especially on the penalty kill. He plays this role for a very deep London team. Anywhere else, he might be known as a high-end playmaker given his skill set.
The excellent two-way centerman features solid puck skills, competitiveness, and hockey sense that when combined with his defensive reliability make him incredibly valuable. He has very good vision, and a knack for scoring big goals for his team. The way he integrates his team first style of play and is so heavily relied upon by his coach is reminiscent of a young Ryan Callahan without the vocal leadership qualities. Those are huge skates to fill, and Tierney has much to work on including improving his shot, but the potential is there for an NHL caliber difference maker.
