Seems he's just filler since we're short on healthy warm bodies.
He's minimum salary on an expiring contract, so the only "cost" is less of an ability to sign college UFAs. You'd think a rebuilding team should attract some, specifically up front where we don't have great depth...

Basically a "figure 11", right Rick  Depending on who gets traded, he'll either fill a hole on the main team or Laval and cost us nothing on cap or salary since he is making league minimum. |

With Laval battling for the playoffs and the Habs battling injuries, I imagine this grab from the junk heep is just to help the Habs with the manpower problem without taking any more guys the Rocket needs to stay competitive.
I never thought much of Tierney, though he is good on faceoffs, tries to play a defensively responsible game, and can kill penalties. Unfortunately his skating way below average for a fast league like the NHL and in the last few seasons he has lost whatever touch for scoring he ever had.

Montreal claimed Chris Tierney off waivers from Florida Tierney is a 6'1", 190 lbs center that has played 13 games this year. (3 points) is he better than Pitlik, Belzile and Pezetta? We will improve more by reducing veterans with bad contracts than by adding journeymen. The kids are outscoring frozen veterans. Harvey Pinard outscoring Drouin. Anderson, big fast. shot and low hockey IQ. |
