Prospect pool is fine, but we should not overestimate its value. Having 10 picks doesn't mean you gonna select all well known and hidden gems. habs have failed a lot over the last decade with lots of their picks. In a very competitive BUSINESS like the NHL, winning, and winning fast is the motto. As much as we can trade one of our numerous picks (not the first rounder, of course), as much as Habs can obtain some more in the future for older, less useful assets. If the habs have a feeling they can go deep in the next Playoffs, they should think about trading one or two second or third rounders to get the guy that might make the difference.

If he's 6'6 218 lbs, I'm not too worried since Pronger played at 6'6 220 lbs and I don't I've seen him being overpowered much.
Has Tinordi shot got better ?
He hasn't really improved his accuracy since juniors, maybe improved on his shot power a bit. He still keeps it nice and low though.

Good for him, always been pretty high on him, im definately a fan of his

I love this way the management just continues to give fans extra reasons to tune in watch the games.
I hope that other teams fan bases (esp. the Bruins and Leafs) end up just hating Tinordi 'cause he's so damn hard to play against.

I noticed that he captained the London Knights and was wondering if he's as solid defensively as some former Kelowna captain? 
Okay, thanks ! I always thought that with such a big guy, it would be easier to have an impressive shot and I was looking forward to see him work on it. A big shot, powerful and accurate can really bring some offensive game to any big dman.
This is a good time to get him into the mix and take a look. There isn't much pressure right now, for sure. He seemed to handle the exhibition games pretty well last year.
I hope Bergevin is building a good market demand for Kaberle or something, though. It's a little bit hard to figure out the gameplan there. Unless they're almost "bubble-wrapping" him for the buyout. He played pretty decently and it's a wee bit unfair that guys leapfrog him from the minors. And also seems doubtful that it could help his trade value any. Unless they're just 100% sure he has none by now.
Makes no sense. His stats this year show he is eminently useable. A plus player,with ES points and PP capability. Just horrible!!
Yes, picks are like lottery tickets. They won't all pan out. You know the best way to get lucky?
Have a lot of them.
Very happy with Bergevin creating safe, low expectations opportunities for our prospects. I'm excited for Tinordi, he seems like such an intelligent player. What number will he wear?
He's got a 32-pound advantage on the puny kid.
In a fight, there's no way I'd bet against Chara!

Thanks! I don't know how I feel about 42... perhaps it will grow on me. He's #5 on the Bulldogs right? Perhaps he'll wear 6 when he makes the club for good.

I still remember the days of Canada facing the US and Gallagher was battling Tinordi in front of the net. Things got pretty heated between the two.

Was Kaberle so bad this year that they'd rather have a Bulldog over him? To me Kaberle was neither helpful nor a net liability.
Tinordi will probably wear 24 during his career...his dad's number. Alex Henry was assigned #24 when Tinordi was drafted, but has since been released, so the number is available.
Not sure if he chose #42 (24 backwards) or if it was assigned to him.
