I'm impressed by Tinordi's game. He has more offensive flair than I thought. His pass on Gallagher's goal was a beauty.
This is what i think makes Tinordi a special prospect.
He's big, tough, pretty mobile, good hockey IQ, etc. All the things you'd expect from a guy in his mold of a big shut down D.
But his offence in underrated in the sense that while he won't
create the offense or lead the attack, he has the smarts to know what to do when the puck is on his stick. Simple plays like the pass to the slot to Gallagher in the TB show it. HE didn't wind up a big slapper, he basically passed it to gally accurately and let him tip it, which shows good awareness of both the context of the current play and awareness of his own abilities. I think if paired with Subban in the future (for example), he won't be a Gorges type who can't be a threat, causing Subban to be hemmed in on his side of the ice.
