Confirmed with Link: Habs claim Chris Tierney

[Le Tricolore]

Makes sense. He's an NHL body on a team with a ton of injuries. He's also making league minimum and is on an expiring contract.

 

[Habs Halifax]

47 contracts (including Tierney)

I believe 47 is correct.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Incoming Tierney

8 goals 11 assists in his 8 games

 

[Habaneros]

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Pretty big addition at C for this team. He has 2 more goals than our 2nd line C from our last game.

 

[Habaneros]

 

[26Mats]

How close are Habs to 50 contacts? Maybe Dach out longer than we think.

Edit: just saw that he is indeed out for a while... Damn

source?

 

[Habs Halifax]

Question is, does he know how to drive a tank?

 

[Skip Bayless]

Tierney is better than Dvorak.

 

[Whalers Fan]

The injured list is at a point of requiring this I gues

Out right now, Price, Monahan, Byron, Gallagher, Evans, Slafkovsky, Caufield, Guhle and Xhekaj ouch

Also Dach, Armia, Wideman and Edmundson.

 

[Tyson]

There has to be something about the way our players are handled. This is two years in a row where the team is decimated with injuries.

Tierney is better than Dvorak.

You can make that argument for sure. I always thought he was decent in Ottawa.

 

[pth2]

Tierney was pretty good when he first arrived to Ottawa.
He is just a warm body at this point.
Another player our medical staff can screw up.

I'd love to know his story.... his numbers in SJ were good, initially in Ottawa as well, then he seems to go downhill fast.... to the point Ottawa didn't qualify him and he ended up a UFA on a league minimum 1-year contract.
Injuries ?

 

[Wats]

source?

Saw in the injury thread, something about the flu like symptoms was due to lower body injury. Needs further testing.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Not sure about that. If Evans was on the Panthers, he might have been put on waivers and played AHL as well. I like Evans but he's not better than Tierney. I expected Evans to take a step forward this year but he didn't. Lets look at both their last full seasons.... Evans put up a bit more points but after that, I see similar value when I look at block/hits/takeaways/giveaways per 60 min's.

I think we get similar value to what Evans provided us this year before he got injured. The gap is not massive.

Tierney can't skate. Evans can.

 

[pth2]

I believe 47 is correct.

The real cost to Montreal is likely signing one less college UFA due to a lack of contract slots...

 

[Draft]

This was the move we were all waiting for! Now wrap it up and turtle for the rest of the season.

He apparently had back problems, but his attitude on the ice point toward "I'm not giving a flying ****" sometimes too.

Thanks.
We should play him with Dadonov and one of Hoffman and Drouin.

"The tank line".

 

[zx81]

Wait, I thought Dach had a virus. Now he's injured ? oh well. Last 2 seasons have been insane.

 

[Whalers Fan]

They can always put Tierney back on waivers if necessary for that purpose.

 

[Wats]

Thoseb good college UFAs rarely want to sign here anyways.

 

[SlafySZN]

Probably mean Dach will miss more than 4 games.

 

[417]

Widemam, Hoffman, Dadonov Tierney...ugh.

This team has way too much Sens stank on them.

Season can't end soon enough.

I'm a Suzuki injury away (knocks on wood) from tuning into Blue Jays Grapefuit League.

 

[1909]

body so we can make a trade?

Armia and Dach are injured-ill. And the depth in Laval is very shallow.

Broken foot that turned into gangrene.
