Per Amanda Stein, “Tierney adds a bit of center depth for #NJDevils this coming season. A good face-off guy as well.”
Take that however you will.
In anticipation of McLeod news?
Needed C depth regardless of the McLeod situation.
Looks like a pure depth / AHL signing
Depth is a good thing.
We need to chill with the McLeod stuff. No point in getting the pitchforks out until there’s actual news. We should assume he’s fine until otherwise
I know we needed depth there. I worry it may be Mikey prep.
Last I saw he was working with investigators though. I’m assuming that’s a good sign.
Insurance for Motorboat Michael
Org depth as insurance. If McLeod is cleared, Tierny will be in Utica all year outside of injuries bringing him up. If McLeod ends up getting suspended or terminated, Lazar replaces him and Tierny takes Lazars’ spot as an extra in the press box. Always good to have more depth.
No point in speculating about this implicating McLeod, let’s just wait for the report to come out.
Happy to see some of y’all worry about who’s going to be our 4th line center. Most years we worry about 3rd line.
So anyone have anything to say about the actual player?
Little I can gleam from Wikipedia is he seems like he was a 40 pt per season player till roundabout COVID and then just stopped being put in the lineup consistently.
Looks like a veteran presence that gets in the corners and dirty places. Seen some pretty good tip ins and forces himself into rebounds. I think it’s a good pick up
