****, Rangers should have offered that.

Great for Tyutin!

Glad to see him getting the chance!

 

[WannabeFinn]

He's not even worth $2M though. Not that bad since it's just 1 year I guess.

He's worth 2M.

ehhhhhhhhh

 

[Jarey Curry]

What's the thing with him? I remember him being a good d some years ago was he not?

 

[Pual Statsny]

Can Columbus fans give us a scouting report? I remember him being a strong positional defender in the top four, kind of like Hejda, but haven't watched him recently.

He's worth 2M.

Having watched him every night as a CBJ fan, no he is not. But it's only 1 year so what does it really matter.

 

[TGWL]

****, Rangers should have offered that.

Why? That makes literally no sense. We already have D-men who can't move. Tyutin can still play 3rd pairing minutes for us, but we already filled the quota of D-men who don't move very well.

 

[CBJFan827]

I think it's fascinating the number of CBJ defenseman who've ended up in Colorado over the last few years. Jan Hejda, Bodnarchuk, Bauchemin, Nick Holden, and now Tyutin.

Best of luck to Toots.

Yes, he was a good D for a long time in Columbus. But age has caught up to him and now he's a slow skater. He'll be good in a mentor role for Zadorov, but that's about it.

Good to know, thanks. He'll probably be with Zadorov, Bigras, or Barrie as a stay-at-home guy.

From what I recall, someone pulled some fancy stats showing Tyutin as a shot suppression black hole--the team didn't get shots on goal when he was on the ice, but the other team didn't either. Take that for what you will.

We only have one pro scout and he lives in Columbus

Report:
He is strong positionally. Wins battles in the corner. Blocks shots. Has a nice writer from the blue line.

Used to be a pretty good skater. Definitely has slowed down a lot in the past 2 years. That has undermined the rest of his game.

Always had a knack for having some turnovers in the defensive zone. Nothing egregious, but it happens.

Right now I would say he is a #6 guy on his way down. Maybe the change of scenery will be a boost.

Always prefers to play on the left side. Doesn't play on the right.

That's about it I think.
