What I hope is that the Habs keep it up with letting Beaulieu and Tinordi develop in the AHL for next season. Well, unless we don't sign another D and it becomes unavoidable that we need somebody up full-time. But even though IMHO they've both shown they can "do okay"/"get by"/"look pretty good at times" in the NHL, I'd still aim for letting them fully ripen in the AHL with another season each. They will still get call-up chances like this year. But if we can go Subban-Gorges-Markov-Emelin-Bouillon-Diaz-UFA(Drewiske?) next season as the default out of the gate, then there's no need for these awesome young guys to start out with anything but 25-minute top duty in Hamilton.
I'm not sure the team would ideally want to start 2014-15 with both as rookies in the regular lineup, though. But then, both will presumably have had frequent cameos and injury-replacement duty with the Habs, so maybe it won't seem like such a big deal.
I don't want any of them frequently scratched or just around as extras, though. Keep the bluechip prospects playing.
I'd rather just keep Weber as the healthy scratch emergency replacement during a road trip guy. Leaving Tinordi, Beaulieu and others to be playing heavy minutes and called up when you know they will see ice time.
