John Scott says 1st round picks weren't willing to change game with St. John's

[Fazkovsky]

I always thought Tinordi was an nhl player

whenever i was checking ahl games, he was fast big etc. He played on terrible teams, and he does have some skills too. He can do some good rushes.

 

[JoelWarlord]

McCarron is hanging around partially because of it. Being 6'6, 230lbs, or whatever he is with minimal skill and being soft gets you sent to the ECHL

He was never soft though, it just wasn't enough for the Habs organization. They were just obsessed with turning McCarron and Tinordi into goons because they felt emasculated in the 2013 playoffs or something.

In his rookie year at age 20 McCarron had 38P in 58 AHL games and then they called him up when he wasn't ready, and in the following years they inexplicably wanted him to become a fighter and then a pure defensive 4C. We're looking at a player who probably had something like Joel Armia potential but for some reason they wanted him to be Ryan White and now he's nothing. I just don't understand why they'd look at a player with those AHL numbers as a rookie and not see the value of developing him as a hulking middle six winger instead of trying to turn him into a plug.

Tinordi was ruined by the habs. He's making a strong case to be in the NHL with Nashville.

Yeah I agree, same issue with Tinordi. At worst he should have been a solid 3rd pair role player who helps your PK, for his size he was a good skater and had good first pass instincts. But again, for some reason they decided instead of having Hal Gill with better skating they wanted him to be a goon and fight all the time.

Yeah I agree, same issue with Tinordi. I don't see why he couldn't have become a solid #4 and basically been what they thought they were gettign with Alzner. At worst he should have bene a solid 3rd pair role player who helps your PK, for his size he was a good skater and had good first pass instincts and again, for some reason they decided instead of having Hal Gill with better skating they wanted him to be a goon and fight all the time.

Or.... maybe he learned something he needed all these years in another AHL team... who was the coach? Lefebvre?

 

[Mrb1p]

True. However, if players want to make it, even for a few years and get some nice pay cheques, then they need to adapt.



Grinding is not easy by any standards. You have to mentally prepare yourself you block shots and take that extra stride, or two and finish the check, learn how to read plays defensively and potentially be ready to drop the gloves to defend a teammate, or yourself if one of your hits gets the other team riled up.

Maybe Scherbak was right in that he knew he didn't have any qualities to be a bottom 6 player, but if you can find those types of players with above average skill, but check all the boxes of a grinder, you know your team can be deep.

Its easy. Anyone can decide to work hard, not everyone can decide to be talented.

 

[26Mats]

The biggest concern is that he says he didn't know why he was sent down. Not that it's surprising, people have doubted how this team develops and communicates with their prospect/players for a long time.
Too many of them seem lost, confused, on a different path than management, and they often say they don't understand or know why.

Scherbak had a steady progression in the AHL going from .48ppg pace to .62 to 1.15, spread over three years. You really couldn't ask for better in terms of production.
That said, I never really liked him, there are better guys than him.

With Scherbak, imo, it's on him and the organization that he still doesn't know how important the 200 foot game is. That should have been instilled in him from day 1: "in today's game you lose games if you cause turnovers. You have to be good in both ends of the rink." No way he's too dense to get that. Yet, he still doesn't, from comments he made even last year.

The argument is only true in theory because in reality the Habs brass opted to use guys who did not have a 50 foot game, in any direction, instead of Scherbak.
McCarron, Chaput, Peca, Hudon, Hemsky, Logan Shaw, Froese, DLO & etc were all preferred over Scherbak at one point or another. You're not looking at impressive assemble of 2-way forwards extraordinaire here, in fact most of them had virtually no NHL future by the time they hit the Habs roster.

Not sure why would the organization held Scherbak to some kind of golden standard when they clearly didn't care about that for the rest.

People use the term "two-way forward" for any forward lacking offensive skill, regardless of whether or not they are effective on defense.

 

[calder candidate]

Not saying ra ra let's fight but it's not bad to focus on other elements in the game. Like Carbo for instance was a scorer but in the NHL, he could not do that and he became a defensive player and playing more with an edge. He became a specialist at something else. In the case of Tinordi, he was having trouble defensively but he had good physique and was a good skater. My thinking was maybe he could be useful as a forward. Esp. in a forechecking role.

I agree Tinordi should have been converted to FW he a great skater for is size when the play is up and down he look great. the issue is that in the NHL the game is a lot more structured and for him it a lot more positioning and stop and go not having a great first step make it hard to maintain proper position and make better use of is size.
Same with Beaulieu but he had a incredibly explosive first few step going fw, good size and play with a edge but he can barely skate backward or pivot, along with avg. hockey sense which made it very hard for him defensively.

Both had asset or skills that should make them NHL player but there position minimized those strength or exposed their weakness even more. Playing FW in a bottom 6 role would have utilized their strength and minimized there weakness.

All the guys you mentioned were better than Scherbak defensively/along the boards/in the neutral zone. I was a big Scherbak supporter. I still don't think it's too late because of his raw talent. But if he still doesn't realize the importance of all areas of the game, he's really not putting himself in a position to be a good hockey player.

Having said that, if I were in management's/development's position, I would consider it my job to instill that in a young player - no excuse for not instilling that in a player I had in the organization from 18 years old to whatever age in his early 20's. That's a lot of time to show, through actual game video, how turnovers, lack of defensive coverage, and losing battles cost the team games.

Sure, but Scherbak falls under the Sly training and he didnt improve a single prospect.
He wont learn by himself.

Not even half the guys listed were better and for the few one that were better the gap isn't significant enough to make a real difference. All of them were older tho and their game had matured more than the young Scherbak and that's generally why they were chosen over him.

Yes, their defensive game was more nature. And that's why they were chisen.

Fyi, you're talking to someone who would have claimed him off of waivers when the Kongs put him on waivers and the whole league passed on him. He would have been eligible to go to Laval, since we had put him on waivers earlier in the year. Would have loved to have seen him get half a year with Bouchard. Still would to be honest. He had/has, a lot of raw talent. Imo, if someone were to convince him to spend a year workong on his play in his own end akd the neutral zone, as well as strength training, he could potentially be a late bloomer. But if he doesn't do those things, his weaknesses aren't made up for by his raw talent.

I'm not sure that it's right to say that he "couldn't" score in the NHL. Yeah, so he didn't score 30 or 40 goals in his first few seasons (or ever for that matter) but he was pretty solid, consistently pitching in with 20 goals and 50 points. But he was always a hard worker and played against the other team's top lines, even in juniors so it was natural for him to focus on that part of his game and he may have figured that was the best way for him to stick around because at that time, it looked like Montreal teams would never be desperate for scoring. I guess what I'm saying is that had be been picked by Detroit or Vancouver (the teams that owned the 3 selections after he was picked) he may very well have been developed more into a guy who could score 30-40 goals a season. There is no reason to think he couldn't do that, he only scored 20 fewer points that Denis Savard in his Junior career.

Like I said, I don't really disagree with what you said earlier in principle, just pointing out that the principle is not applied uniformly by the Habs management.

He was never soft though, it just wasn't enough for the Habs organization. They were just obsessed with turning McCarron and Tinordi into goons because they felt emasculated in the 2013 playoffs or something.

But again, for some reason they decided instead of having Hal Gill with better skating they wanted him to be a goon and fight all the time.

I like that. They changed what they expected for McCarron on a yearly basis. I'm sure they originally looked at him to be that big bost that could be a menace in front of the net on the pp and slam home the greasy goals 5 on 5 with skilled players. Good enough to hang with them, not good enough to elevate anyone. Then a 4th line center like Boyle, then just a goon.

Its easy. Anyone can decide to work hard, not everyone can decide to be talented.

It's really not that easy. You have to either have it come natural to give the proverbial 110%, or you have to have the mindset to realize your dream is slipping away and change that.

If it were that easy, everyone who wanted to learn another language would know it by now. Everyone who wanted to get in shape, would be. If you think being able to go out there and give it your all is easy, you're wrong. Hell, some of these players who so desperately want to win a cup can't even do it for the late teens - early 20 amount of games it takes to win it.

 

[Burke the Legend]

Could Carbonneau really not do it? The few times I've heard him talk about his scoring, he mentioned that the Habs wanted him to focus on his defensive game more and so he adapted his game to what they asked him to do.

Clearly he had offensive talent, you dont put up huge #s in junior and AHL with zero hands. He never got a chance to show if he could put up NHL points, he was immediately put into a defensive role. Look at the way Federov's points dropped starting 1996-1997 when Bowman got him into that role for example.

 

[montreal]

Tinordi wasn't there when Scott was because Tinordi was traded to Arizona for Scott and Bartley.

lol, forgot that was the trade.

The thing is, in today's game you have to be a 200 foot player, no matter how good you are offensively.

Scherbak still didn't understand that, ev err n kast year in the KHL. in an interview last year he said "I don't know,why the canadiens kept sending m.j e down to the AHL. I already proved I was point per game player there "

Yeah but you're 200 foot game is horrendous Scherbie. Wake up!

I don't agree 100%, I think even in today's NHL you can live with players that aren't solid 200 foot two way players if their offense is good enough. Just not on the Habs as their coaches clearly prefer defensive minded forwards over skilled guys.

Well, he referred to the person having tremendous skill, which Scherbak had. Likely told him he needs to block more shots, be better defensively and throw a hit.

Now, your first part of your post. I believe you're right.

My question is, Scherbak kind of showed by his 2nd AHL season that he was good, but not quite good enough for the NHL. He didn't look that strong, or that willing to engage physically, so I'm wondering why they didn't trade him at that time and recoup a 2nd, a 3rd, or maybe a different prospect in a similar fashion and see how that went.

More and more view points come out and with the fans agreeing, it just shows this team is doing everything backwards.

It makes sense with Bergevin always trading back to acquire more picks with the hope one of those picks becomes something.

yea that makes sense, as Scherbak did have a high skill level at least in playmaking which was his bread and butter. But then it's kind of hard to picture this as I just don't see how anyone could suggest to Scherbak he needs to drop the gloves as that likely would have been a disaster.

it's also a good point about not trading him after his 2nd season, though his value by that point might have been next to nothing as I'm sure other teams saw that he was not working hard enough and with the way he was handled by the Habs, moving him to center in his rookie year after missing most of the season to several injuries, as he got badly exposed defensively which shouldn't be a surprise since you take a guy that isn't good defensively and was just 2 days away from being too young to play in the AHL, then add in he missed the off season to a major knee injury, then re-injured it early in the season and then got a concussion on his 1st game back.

That's why I said some of the decisions I've seen in terms of development were so bad it would be comical if not for how badly it's impacted us. It has been like watching the bad news bears of hockey management, just one mistake after another and really bad ones that are clearly just flat out terrible ideas. Who moves a poor defensive winger to center in the middle of the season when he just got back from being out most of the year. Like how did they think that was going to work, how did someone sit around and come up with this idea and not get fired for it.

100% agree on this management doing things backwards.

Well I get it, but it's not as simple as they make it sound either. I don't think Scherbak was going to be a 3rd line NHLer regardless of what he did.
Take Hudon for example, he definitely seems like someone who'll do anything to make it to the NHL. In the AHL he plays well on top lines, in the NHL they put him on bottom lines, he hustles as much as he can but will never make it imo.

I'm not disagreeing with those guys. They obviously know way more what goes on, and no doubt in my mind there are guys who just pout and refuse to play lower roles because they're top players in juniors.
Just saying, Bissonette suggesting to just drop the gloves around 7-8 times...every time you do it you chance getting your face bashed in, especially if you never fought before.

I get that he played in the NHL and knows more then I ever will but I don't how anyone could tell Scherbak he needs to drop the gloves a few times. Whoever was telling Tinordi to do that gave him some bad advice imo, as it wasn't pretty watching him drop the gloves. I often wondered if his heart wasn't really in it as he just didn't seem comfortable doing it, which then made me wonder if that's why his physical game was so inconsistent as he likely knew when he threw those big time hits he would have to answer for it and that's why you might not see him throw a big hit for several games to weeks at a time. All just speculation on my part, I know there was talk about his dad giving him advice but either way I wish he had just played to his strengths instead.

Well, we can argue that many prospects were ruined by the Habs organisation but should we include Tinordi?
It took him another 4 years full time in the AHL before returning to the NHL. Arizona and Pittsburgh were not patient with him either. It happens for some players to be late bloomers, it's very rare that a player is developped 10yrs in the AHL with the same team before playing in the NHL.

What's different about Tinordi's game this year vs what he was for us?

who was the coach? Lefebvre?

of course

The argument is only true in theory because in reality the Habs brass opted to use guys who did not have a 50 foot game, in any direction, instead of Scherbak.

Not sure why would the organization held Scherbak to some kind of golden standard when they clearly didn't care about that for the rest.

this is why I have railed against Molson/MB/MT/Julien/Lefebvre. I just don't think this organization knows how to develop talent. Anyone that puts Scherbak on the 4th line to me is just wasting time and putting the team and the player in a bad situation as his game is mainly about his offense, if he can't be with scorers then don't play him. Galchenyuk scoring 30 goals but Julien has him on the 4th line or later on the 3rd with DLR, lol. I just thought that was so f***ing stupid to see.

People might point to Suzuki and how he started on the 4th line but he had the solid two way game in place already, Scherbak never did, Galchenyuk clearly needed work there. I just don't think they played to these guys strengths at all. I look at how they handled these guys but yet when Evans gets called up he's with Domi and Kovalchuk, now why couldn't they do that with others? Instead we call up skilled rookies and put them on the 4th line with no talent grinders and in a few games they end up in the press box and then back in the AHL a week later only to struggle once they get sent back down. It's mind boggling.

I like that. They changed what they expected for McCarron on a yearly basis. I'm sure they originally looked at him to be that big bost that could be a menace in front of the net on the pp and slam home the greasy goals 5 on 5 with skilled players. Good enough to hang with them, not good enough to elevate anyone. Then a 4th line center like Boyle, then just a goon.

that might explain why in the last season under Lefebvre McCarron looked completely lost as to what he was supposed to be. They had him on a line with ECHL grinders but played him in the top 2 in terms of TOI and PP. It was like he wasn't sure if he was supposed to be this big physical force or a scoring threat and ended up inconsistently doing both.

Yeah you’re right. But perhaps if Sherbie would have dropped the gloves he could have gotten some sense knocked into his dumb brain.

Which players do you have in mind?

Borderline players like Charles Hudon and Scherbak at this stage can't hurt you defensively if they're only producing so much offensively.

Hudon's defensive zone coverage is horrendous. When he's not producing (which is more often than not) he's a huge liability.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

30 years of drafting square pegs and trying to shove them into round holes and yet it’s always the players faults they bust

Team has been vanilla for 3 decades and still want to turn every player they draft into a 200 ft grinder to ensure they stay in this ‘Safe Zone’

Poor Caufield

Hudon's defensive zone coverage is horrendous. When he's not producing (which is more often than not) he's a huge liability.

I don't follow the NHL at all in the past few years outside of the Habs and since last year I have barely been watching their games. I wasn't talking about borderline NHLers/bubble guys. I'm talking about top liners, guys that put up a lot of offense but aren't solid in their own end.

Hudon was able to put up solid numbers as a 3rd liner but as a 4th liner he just looks terrible last year and I didn't see much of him this year. In his first 78 NHL games he had 34 points, but as a 4th liner in 47 games he's had just 15 pts. So why was he able to produce with consistent TOI and linemates in '17-'18 but last year when he didn't have a spot on the team he couldn't seem to produce for shit. His ppg went from over .42 to under .17 in the last 2 seasons. Clearly his skating/speed/strength are all major issues for him and the guy is a top AHLer for sure but it certainly looks like he can't produce as a 4th liner with inconsistent TOI or that his first 78 games were more of a fluke. The skill is there, he seems to work hard in the NHL games i've seen but he is likely just not good enough to be a consistent 3rd liner on a team trying to make the playoffs.

I agree, asking Scherbak to drop the gloves is nuts. I imagine it would resemble Semin fighting...How can anybody forget this gem:

Good lord...loll...I think it's even more embarrassing than this one

Lol...

Tinordi really had no business fighting as much as he did. They were making him fight versus enforcers as well and got his clock destroyed. Really a shame.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

To be fair to Scherbak, did anyone expect KK to do as well as he did against Hagg ? Once I saw his gloves come off, I just assumed he was done.

Tinordi fought regularly in the OHL. I think the decision to fight was his to try and show he had more.

He got destroyed by Andrey Pedan, who's probably the toughest Russian since Andrei Nazarov.

There's a few clips of Tinordi destroying people with checks in the AHL, then fighting someone and beating them.

I don't recall Tinordi losing any other fight as bad as he did against Pedan, but I didn't see all of his AHL fights. I think he lost a fight in the OHL to Tyrell Goulbourne, who's a smaller player that became even less than Tinordi.

Tinordi dummies Ashton. Fought Wilson to a fairly even fight.



Seemed to lay a beat down here.

A lot of Tinordi's fights I just watched are in response to a hit, or something where he's standing up for a teammate.

I think Tinordi just lost confidence. He, along with Beaulieu and Pateryn were kept too long. Didn't have room to play them, didn't trade them and didn't waive them. Thet made a mistake and they were benched and then scratched.

it was a ways back but in Hamilton I just remember cringing every time he dropped the gloves as I didn't think he looked very good at it. I know he lost several but I'd have to look up his fight card.
