Jared Tinordi to Rangers

Just heard it on hockeybuzz

Can't wait for him to fight Wilson again.

Essentially I take this as follows. Signed to protect the kids in Hartford and to play against the Craps to keep shithead Wilson in line.

 

[kreidertime]

This is why they signed him

Since Seattle signed Grubaur maybe Colorado will trade for Georgiev

Mollie Walker is so clueless. She is totally lost as a writer. Stating Tinordi is pushing Hajek on the outs. No he isn't you moron. Tinordi will basically never play unless there is a reason for goon protection in which case I suspect they will dress 7 defenseman that game. Lord she's dumb. Now Maybe Hajek will be used in a deal for a center. That being said. Tinordi is not a starting NHL defenseman. He's there basically to punch Wilson and a couple of other guys in the face if they get dirty.

I think the point is that Tinordi will likely be the 7th D, which was pretty much the last role available for Hajek. Nemeth was the dagger for Hajek. Nemeth was brought in to play 3LD and he pushed Hajek out of the lineup. Unless the plan is to deal Lundkvist and shift Hajek to the right until Schneider is ready.

But if Nemeth and Lundkvist are both here, Tindordi will be kept as the 7th dman over Hajek. No use having Hajek around to sit. He would either be dealt or sent down.

 

[kreidertime]

He's not going to be sent down. That would be a waste.

 

[theProdigy223]

Agree it would be a waste. He has the pedigree as a early pick and the skating ability that I have to think some team out there would be willing to take a chance on him. Hell we even got something for Howden. I would try to use him as a piece in a larger deal, as there's no room for him now.

I like Hajek. However, it seems they are going in this direction. Nemeth to work with Lundkvist for 1 to 2 years. Robertson in the minors for a least a year and a half. Same with Schneider. Then Trouba moved. Could be tough because dumbass Gorton gave him a NMC through 2023-2024 than a modified NTC. I don't see him wanting to move. Or maybe they move Lundkvist down the line for a top young center if he plays great.
