I'm a little surprised he couldn't find work in the NHL.

Dang, you beat me to the joke well played

 

[Jared Dunn]

Still truly flabbergasted that this man nearly scored 50 points one season. Literally didn't do one impressive thing in Montreal

After seeing him in Montreal I'm surprised the KHL even wanted him

Tierney was a NHLer because he played for the Ottawa Senators. Melnyk dressed pigs in lipsticks and Pierre Dorion called it a team.

Best of luck to him in the KHL, he was one of the most vanilla players to have played through the Ottawa system.

To be fair, he was a productive pro before coming to the Senators. He was PPG in the AHL as a 20 year old and ended up on San Jose right away, then he was eventually a top 5 scorer on San Jose.

Getting traded to Ottawa was probably the worst thing to happen to him, because they were never going to give him term after his bridge deal was up.

Both Tierney and Brown had really bad luck with both being on Ottawa when they were ready for their big payday, and with their payday coming in 2020 when COVID restricted the cap. Ottawa wasn't giving anybody term except for the top young stars (Chabot, White, Tkachuk, etc).

Had both of them been on a different team, there is a chance that they would have signed a longer term deal a year early before COVID hit, because they were still seen as productive players relative to their role.

He probably would have been bought out a few years down the line, but still - going to Ottawa probably cost him millions of dollars.

Ehh I think his disinterest in playing the game a certain way would have caught up to him regardless of where he went. You could argue Tierney was placed in a favorable position initially because he was given a top 6 spot that he assuredly did not deserve.

He wasn't good. Nobody ruined his development. He was fortunate to have made as much money as he did, in my opinion.

Was he really that bad there??
