Chris Tierney has signed a new contract with the Ottawa Senators.

cool. Ottawa seems to have a plan

I like the way Ottawa is doing this

Great value.

Great signing and will provide relief for the young centres developing. And a valuable trade piece when they move on

Good player, but I would've tried to get more term. He's entering his prime. Better give him the 5- or 6-year term now rather than when he's 28.

They do?

Sens forward core is shaping up nicely. If they can get at least average play from their defensemen and if Murray can return to form, I think they could surprise some people next year

the guy averages 10 goals a year, and they signed him to a 20 goal scorer contract and people think this is good?

I am surprised and pleased.

GREAT value and term for the Senators.

Cheaper than I expected but bring him straight to UFA

should have been 4 years like kerfoots was

Tierney won't be here beyond the length of this deal. Look at the Cs coming through.

Two years is right about where you want him. He's a good leader this year and part of next year, but he's not part of the future.

Tierney is more playmaker than finisher. He won't score much, but creates oportunities for his teammates.

Fair. I just think you can't have too many players and could have him on the wing.

yeah they said the same thing about wennberg too.....and no one wanted that over paid contract either.

Exactly what i thought Cobra would get. He’s earned it and we miss him in SJ

His nickname is Cobra?! That's ill.

Yep. On the sharks it was

I don't like that it goes right to Ufa. But I guess he likely gave in a bit on salary to do that. Likely could have been 4 with more term. Suppose it makes sense.


But I'm neutral at best as it's the worst term for the team

He would have been a UFA in one year. They got one year of UFA from him at a very reasonable price. The escrow and back loaded contract has him making less than his last deal on year 1. With White, Brown, Norris, Pinto and potentially Stuzzle all playing centre there is not much room for him long term. Hard to say if he is better than White or the other guys now but definitely the most consistent and best defensively of the bunch. A second or first line guy in Ottawa but realistically a 3rd line centre on a contending team. Will likely be available at the expansion draft or 2022 trade deadline unless his production shifts dramatically . Maybe better linemates can do this.

Tierney > Kerfoot

Both players are strong defensively but Tierney has better production. Add to that that Tierney's QO was already close to 3M.

So you locked him up for the two years that won't matter?

Interesting choice.
