This year is going great.

 

[The Great Weal]

He used to be pretty solid and we need a warm body

 

[sheed36]

 

[MarkJ]

body so we can make a trade?

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Ha if there's even a miniscule chance this hurts Florida sure...

When will the Tierney end...

 

[The Great Weal]

body so we can make a trade?

Don't need to make a trade, we need a body up front.

 

[LaP]

We will probably need bodies after the deadline.

 

[Captain Mountain]

*gestures at the Canadien's IR*

 

[sampollock]

Dach is hurt... habs are desperate

 

[Captain97]

We need bodies so it makes sense. Maybe he reminds his game and can be our 3C if we trade Dvorak next year. He's probably just a warm body so we can trade other players but you never know.

 

[danyhabsfan]

Tierney for a 1st at the deadline

 

[HomaridII]

Makes sense with the Armia injury too. Nothing to get excited or angry about.

Meh. UFA. Won't even get to meet his wife.

 

[morhilane]

Cap hit cheaper than Pitlick, so this could be a small cap space freeing move for the deadline (even if Habs needs bodies...on a the team that started the season with 15 NHL forwards WTF!).

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Hopefully he’s disappointed and helps the tank

 

[Runner77]

A Jenga move to weaken Florida piece by piece.

 

[habamillions]

Hasnt played a lot this season. But florida fans wanted to keep him and waive white

 

[Kwikwi]

Bad news for Dach, Monahan, or Dvorak is wanted?

 

[Team_Spirit]

Hell yeah

Now send Dvorak and Monahan to the Panthers direct competition for a playoffs spot.

[Habs 4 Life]

I actually liked him with the Sharks and at first with the Sens. We need bodies anyways ..

Desperate would not be the word I would choose in a waivers claim. It's not different than claiming Monty, Pitlick, or Kova.

But yes, we have issues up the middle after Suzuki. I called out our center depth heading into this year. Laval does not have NHL ready centers. If we did have it, it's very possible Slaf would have played AHL this season.

Suzuki is the 5th or 6th most used forward in the entire NHL. We need to mange that better. Tierney will help

exactly. They don't have enough warm bodies. I don't think this has anything to do with an imminent trade

I don't think this is solely based on future trades but possible. From what I see, we are forced to play Drouin at center which is not good. Tierney helps with the center depth and that's all I see. Suzuki is being used too much and they are trying to manage that better.
