Recalled/Assigned: Tinordi assigned to Hamilton

[MXD]

I'm not against it.
The guy, for whatever reasons, appears to have forgotten to play physical hockey, which is necessary for him to have success in the NHL.
Maybe is he afraid to cross the line and/or end up out of position?

Considering how he played this far, that demotion has to be considered a good move
People here seems to evaluate Tinordi like the player he could and will be, as opposed to the player he is.

Now let's hope he plays 25+ mins a game, dominate in Hamilton and bring that domination with him when he's called up again.

Its just for Cap reasons people...they cant afford both beaulieu and tinordi up

This is probably the correct answer. It looks like the Habs are actually over the cap right now with all the injuries/callups.

 

[overlords]

It's just to save on the cap guys. Nobody is back from injury, they're not going to go with 6 D. Chill out.

Possible.
But roster-wise, it also makes sense.

Beaulieu has outplayed tinordi so far, if only marginally. So yeah, I can kinda agree there.

 

[zzoo]

So far, I like Beaulieu a bit more than Tinordi.
Playing big minutes in Hamilton is better than on the pressbox or a few minutes with Habs.

I'm sure it's cap only, but I agree with (I think) Marc Denis last night who said that, in a perfect world, both Tinordi and Beaulieu would be in Hamilton now. So if one switches with the other for a bit while we deal with injuries, that's fine too.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Cap move and the NHL game might be a bit overwhelming for him right now. Playing in the AHL won't ruin him.

 

[Habset]

Man it's funny how fast peoples opinions can change in the hockey world. 2 weeks ago Beaulieu was a scrub and Tinordi a hockey god. Fast forward 2 weeks and they've switched places.

 

[Rscorpio]

Not surprising. He had some bad games and didn't bring the physicality he brought in preseason.

This.

 

[jaffy27]

Ekblad could be the perfect partner for PK.

I think Ekblad is R/H shot, would look good as a #3 D

Markov-Subban
Emelin-Ekblad

Let the tank begin lol

its a fact, the guy was sent down to Hamilton.....

it's Marc Bergevin opinion too

This, and callup Patrryn for bottom-pair purposes.

It could be a cap move, but the one called up might be Pateeyn.

 

[Markowicz]

It is what it is i guess. I like Beaulieu because he moves the puck well and is a great skater. Offensive D usually take less time than big D to develop and gain confidence, and maybe thats whats going on here. I think Tinordi is trying to do a little too much so far this year. He's trying to be too much of an all-around player, in the sense that he's trying to pinch and be part of the offense a bit too much. i'm very impressed with this side of his game, but he should be focusing primarily on being solid in his own zone first.

Either way i hope they both improve enough this year that we can get rid of diaz and bouillon next year (or sometime this year).

 

[David Suzuki]

we're not getting Eklabd lol

we're gonna make the playoffs just chill.

I know
But it's fun to fantasize

 

[De Montreal]

Both him and Beaulieu will finish the season in Hamiton unless, of course, injuries occur.

Subban - Markov
Gorges - Emelin
Diaz - Murray
Boo

 

[CaptainBenn]

well our defense would look pretty good for years with ekblad now wouldnt it

 

[Le Barron de HF]

He has to work on his positioning and his man coverage and he's not gonna do that sitting in the pressbox, logical move to make.

 

[MarkovtoSubban]

Needs to work on his confidence and then come back stronger.

If he's going to partner PK someday he needs to be able to hang on to the puck and make smarter passes.

 

[Tyson]

I am a huge Tinordi fan but he needs more time. I also think Beaulieu needs a whole season in the A. Pateryn being 23 is the most ready.

 

[MarkovtoSubban]

Both him and Beaulieu will finish the season in Hamiton unless, of course, injuries occur.

Subban - Markov
Gorges - Emelin
Diaz - Murray
Boo

More excited to watch the Dogs defence when that happens.

Beaulieu-Pateryn
Tinordi-Nygren

Really nice pairings, balanced and can play big minutes.

 

[Feintastic]

Both arent ready yup, Tinordi had more nhl games(camp) so far so..its Beaulieu turn to show what he got... Maybe Tinordi will get the message n his confidence back in a couple of AHL game...he'll be back... who know's

 

[lo striver]

I guess, the plan here is to get even more small and soff. Plus he can also fight. Nope. Don't need him on the team.

 

[canadiensnation]

This is for the cap space situation.

Current cap limit is $64,300,000 with Tinordi up they would be over that limit as they only have this as their current payroll: $65,052,828, to get that to 64.3m they used LTIR.

Emelin and Drewiske are the only players on LTIR atm. Guys like Murray, Briere, Prust, Parros all count towards the cap.
