Recalled/Assigned: Tinordi sent down (March 29. 2013)

[montreal]

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that rule didn't apply to prospects playing in the AHL. Is it also the case in the ECHL? (sorry if this is a little OT, I'm curious)

The only time you burn a contract year is if they are junior aged.

I think he showed he can "survive" at the NHL level. The question is going to be whether that is better for his development, or whether being a cornerstone on the Bulldogs is better. End of the day, to me, it just depends on who we sign in the off-season. If we could get a top-4 guy who bumps Emelin down, I'd like that. In which case Tinordi isn't hurt by playing big time on a less-feeble Hamilton team. If we can't sign that D, Tinordi's "survive" mode is as good for us as about any bottom-pairing UFA.

I hope that they don't plan on Tinordi being in the top 6 next season, that they bring him along slowly by spliting time between Hamilton and the Habs. Let him steal a job at some point but not hand him one over the summer (not that I would expect them to).

Bring this man up!

We need guys who can play D on D!

I second this.

He plays good D, he's big and he's tough.

long reach, blocks shots, will fight, will hit

We've allowed 5 or more in three straight. We need to limit goals. Tinordi can help.

Bring him back into play! He might not solve everything but it is better than what we saw for the past 3 games.

Oh, and give Subban the C too.

Yep call up Tinordi and plya with 7D.

Weber was almost our best D tonight which says a lot. Markov, Gorges and Bouillon are tired. Play with 7D so you can mangae their ice time better.
