New York Rangers Sign Jarred Tinordi

July 28, 2021 at 11:39 am CDT | by Josh Erickson 7 Comments

Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports that the New York Rangers have signed defenseman Jarred Tinordi. The former Canadien, Predator, and Bruin was signed to a two-year deal making $900,000 per season.

Tinordi has long been a depth defender at the NHL level. He has never been deemed good enough for a regular role, having maxed at out at 28 games in a season as his career high to date. However, he has also been too good to clear waivers, as Nashville found out last season when he was claimed by Boston. The Rangers likely see Tinordi as a veteran No. 7 or 8 who can provide some guidance to the young blue line and some snarl as a spot starter, much in the way that the departed Brendan Smith did.

Tinordi is not an offensive threat and his skating leaves a lot to be desired. However, he positions himself well in the defensive end, is an effective and punishing checker, and is not afraid to drop the gloves. Tinordi is the type of stay-at-home checking threat that can be nice to have in a tight, physical game. It’s a value that is worth about what the Rangers gave him.

    This is a brilliant signing. The NYR will lead the league in five minute power plays after this top heavy dufus falls face first into the boards over and over because he can’t skate.

      Yeah. I’d been shaking my head on how many people in Boston touted the guy, and was having flashbacks to how the meatheads in Section 104 in the old Garden would jeer Peter McNab (who was only averaging nearly 40 goals a year in that stretch) for not hitting enough. If Tinordi was half the player his father was, he’d be worth having. As it stands, he belongs with the Wolf Pack, not the Rangers.

    He’s better than what I thought he was after watching him on the Bruins. Still pretty immobile and gets lost sometimes but you can definitely do a lot worse for the 7th dman spot.

      Well, sure. The Rangers could’ve re-signed Dale Purinton, say. He’s a big-bodied cementhead who’d work for cheap, though, and he spent ten seasons in the Rangers’ organization. Sure, he’s been retired for a dozen years, but what the heck, right?

    Everybody craps on Tinordi but I think he’s fine as a 7th Dman. Seems like a good guy.
