AK_19 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I like Chris Tierney, I recall he's close friends with Horvat. I'd love to see him on our team as our third line C. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I'd like to hear from someone that watches Ottawa regularly @HighOnHockey - what happened with Tierney this season? I see that his ice time dropped a lot, on an underperforming team. Is there a warning sign there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 What’s a good cap hit for Tierney? Between $2-3M? He made $3.5M on his last contract but has taken a step back point production wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing a lot of it was giving kids more ice time and him going from more of a 2nd line 2 way role to a 3rd line match up/sheltering role. I'd happily take any of him, Paul or Sturm this summer (or even better, one of Paul/Tierney AND Sturm). ESPECIALLY if we can move off Dickinson. L1 - Pettersson, Miller L2 - Horvat L3 - Paul/Tierney L4 - Lammiko, Sturm 13TH F - Richardson As C depth please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made $3.5M on his last contract but has taken a step back point production wise. Tierney has had back-to-back disappointing seasons so I think his value is quite low at the moment. He's not really a significant generator of SOG either. If there are teams competing for Tierney then sure, his contract AAV could jump up to $2M-$3M, but considering that he's had two consecutive poor seasons, I think teams are going to be cautious about signing him. My guess would be $1.25M-$2.5M on a 1-year deal with possible multiple years if the AAV is on that low end. Definitely on board with Tierney being a "buy-low" type acquisition this summer, if only to add forward depth for the Canucks. Can't hurt to add center depth, including a guy that has played on the PK at the NHL level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not keen on $2.5M in case he becomes another Dickinson (didn’t mesh and is now overpaid). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that his ice time dropped a lot, on an underperforming team. Is there a warning sign there? Lol, I don't mind him so much, but he is public enemy number one among Sens fans, and has been for a long time. They hate him. Definitely a little over-paid currently. He's never been all that talented, but he was placed in a top six forward role early in the rebuild and was able to capitalize. He's not exactly a great defensive center either, in the traditional sense. But what he is is a good offensive zone possession player. Pretty good on the forecheck, strong along the boards, he's always focused on looking to make a play to extend possession, rather than trying to create offence. So when he was playing in the top six with more skilled players, the plus side was he was able to help create long OZ possessions that would so often eventually lead to a breakdown from the opponents that his more skilled linemates could capitalize on. The downside was that when those opportunities did arise, Tierney would time after time fumble pucks and whiff his shot or pass attempts. I always talk about that Islanders' "fourth line" (Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck) as the dream fourth line. They have next to no interest in creating offense, but they just grind it out along the boards, wear you down, and can maintain zone possession for entire shifts at times, sometimes even against opponents' top lines. Tierney would be perfect on a line like that with a couple heavy wingers. As far as the question of cap hit, look no further than Cizikas at 2.5 and Tierney should be somewhere around there, probably slightly under.

70seven Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I’ve always liked Tierney. Always plays the Canucks hard at least. Kind of a Motte replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Tierney or Paul would be great pick ups if they are on decent value deals. I do think that Dickenson could have a bit of a bounce back next year, but it would be prudent not to completely count on it and have another C ready to roll. You really can't have too many centres as most of them can play wing and slide over in case of injury or to take draws on their strong sides. I don't hold any numbers against a guy playing on a team like Ottawa, they made it clear that Tierney wasn't in their future for a couple of years and wanted to give the ice time to the kids. If he didn't get traded at the last couple deadline maybe it means there isn't a huge market for his services and a 1-2 year $2 million deal would do the trick. If we could keep Boeser and move out Hoglander with Dickenson... there could be roster spots to deepen the forward core. Petterson-Miller-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Garland Paul-Tierney-Podkolzin Highmore-Lammikko-Lockwood Chiasson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I'd lie to see a bit of a better face off percentage for a third line centre. Tierney averages below 50% but has cracked that marker in two seasons earlier in his career.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
