He's a face puncher at the NHL level and that's it. Dude sucks.

Ahh, I remember the days when he was supposed to be the Habs answer to Chara.

Weird signing. If Barrie ends up getting a deal then both Hanley and Solovyov would be sent down. So them plus Brzustewicz, Poirier, Jurmo, Grushnikov, and Kuznetsov would have been the suspected starting 7. I guess there is a chance we don't sign Barrie and/or one of them gets claimed.
Good in the room and an absolute warrior on the ice. Mobility ... limited.
I expect Tinordi will be wearing a Wranglers jersey quite often.

At this point he is a punching bag at the NHL level and that's it. Dude sucks.
His fighting ability is on part with his hockey ability at this point

Even on a 2-way, I'm surprised this guy got a 2-way deal. I guess being a physical Defenseman keeps you hanging around. On a team of bad players, he stuck out as particularly bad. Nothing more than a press box/waiver fodder guy.
If you want a real treat, you can find a bunch of 10-year old comments on twitter, reddit and HFBoards bemoaning how stupid the Habs coaching staff for not playing this guy more. I suppose it's cyclical.Ahh, I remember the days when he was supposed to be the Habs answer to Chara.
Chara is retired while Tinordi still plays - I’d say he succeeded. Revise your post or feel the wrathAhh, I remember the days when he was supposed to be the Habs answer to Chara.

There's so few fighters left that being a bad or mediocre one and playing in the NHL still makes you one of the scarier guys in the league. Twenty years ago Foligno would be a middleweight. Today he's a bad mofo.

I'm ok with this signing. Both the Flames and Wranglers need a bit more toughness.
Tinordi would be the 7th D at best with the Flames, a Captain perhaps with the Wranglers and available as a call-up when the injury bug hits.

I mean, that's the case for a lot of prospects and fan bases. The belief in the magical bean is strong.

Will say he's one hell of a teammate. He's a windmill of a fighter he'll eat punches to land punches and he's not great at it but he's got a bit of an offensive brain he just lacks the physical tools to utilize it. He's slow as shit and he'll put himself out of position to finish a check. He'll ideally mostly play in the AHL he's a bad hockey player but if you're a bad hockey team occasionally he's a fun bad hockey player.
He's gonna absolutely demolish somebody every dozen games clean and then likely beat somebody up over it. I'm sure Wrangler fans will love the guy.
