Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] Sens Extend Chris Tierney (2 Years, $3.5M AAV)

[Flames Fanatic]

Decent deal for a ~40 point C

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good deal for both sides. Like the sens off season so far.

 

[Flyer lurker]

Price seems more pre covid than post covid. Not poor deal but I would question if movable 1st 2 years.

 

[Stuzchuk]

meh. Tierney is nothing special but we need centre depth. I'm surprised we did more than 1 year to be honest. I agree with others that he will be traded next year for a pick before the playoffs.

yup, and it give an extra option for SEA to pick from... because at the moment we dont have much to offer to follow the expansion rules

 

[Langdon Alger]

26 years old is a veteran?

On a team like Ottawa it is.

Nick Paul has 14 games to play and Austin Watson has 13 until they meet requirements. If Ottawa only has two players who meet requirements it will be those two.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

The AAV is solid, i'm happy.

He's going to be our 1C this year, and hopefully next year someone (hopefully a German) grows into that spot.

I'm 90% sure that the Kraken will be drafting him from us for Y2, so I really see this as a 1 year deal.

 

[CanadienShark]

Nice deal for the Sens.

 

[Amadeus]

His value is identical to Alex Kerfoot IMO and both make the same AAV. Fair deal!

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Good price on a solid 3C.

yes, I have to agree with you here... and I sure hope that Josh Brown plays 12 game, I dont want to see Chabot exposed

 

[LTIR]

you are kidding right? 2.9M/2yrs is a pretty good deal for OTT I would say

OP says 3.5M per not 2.9.

Who do Sens fans prefer, Tierney or Brown?

Who do Sens fans prefer, Tierney or Brown?

Logan Brown has Senators fans salivating about his potential due to his offensive vision, hands and large frame. (unless you're referring to Connor Brown)

Unfortunately, he has yet to prove himself on any consistent and substantial basis due to injury.

If you are referring to Connor Brown, I think he has a bit more jam and is a bit more versatile and useful than Tierney.

Tierney is a fairly unspectacular player, a cerebral playmaker who doesn't demonstrate a great deal of intensity but doesn't cost his team defensively either. I'd be surprised if he generates a lot of excitement or interest on the part of Senators fans, who mainly regard him as a placeholder before those prospects step up and step in.

There are a few Senators fans out there who think he figures into the team long-term, but judging by the contract length, I'd be surprised if Dorion agrees.

 

[SenzZen]

26 years old is a veteran?

Maybe not for Martin St. Louis, but Tierney has over 400 regular-season games to his credit. He sure isn't a prospect.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

$4.2 in year two? Yeah that's not gonna be in Ottawa.

Big Money Melnyk is going to be swimming in Seattle expansion and new TV deal money.

Nah, I was talking about Josh Brown.

Thanks.

 

[NyQuil]

Thanks.

Three Browns make a right.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Wanted him in the Murray deal. Oh well.

 

[Funk21]

Was expecting that these numbers would come with 4 year deal. Basically you walk him to UFA and if you don’t protect him you lose a solid 3C for nothing.

 

[Stuzchuk]

OP says 3.5M per not 2.9.

WOW, I'm working with a factor of 2.9 at work... and I literally saw 2.9M, My bad

Still at 3.5M 2 years, it's a good deal

 

[One Winged Angel]

That's not a great contract for a 3C. First year seems okay, but $4.2M (and $3.5M cap hit) is a bit high.

1. Well, he did say the words “decent deal.”

2. Just curious, what do you think you’re getting for $3.5m?

The term is to Ottawa's advantage as much as it is to Tierney's.

There is something to be said for predictability in the expansion draft. Tierney is a bridge till young guys can take over at C. I have zero issue losing him. They have more valuable guys to protect.

They won't protect him. Tierney is not a long term solution, just a stop gap until prospects pass him on the depth chart.
