| What Scouts Say | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
"He skates very well for a big guy. He has an
excellent shot from the point. He's a pretty smart player. The head's
there, the hands are there, the shot's there, the skating ability is
there. He's got a real, real cannon for a shot." "Tinordi is a chip off the old block. His father,
Mark Tinordi, was once a physical, defensive defenseman in the NHL who
punished the opposition and the younger Tinordi plays the exact same way. He
not only mirrors his father's game, but also his size as he stands a
firm 6'6" and weighs 205 pounds. The most physically ready of the USA
NHL draft eligible prospects, Tinordi completes the package with a mean
streak and strong mobility." "Massive stay-at-home rearguard with excellent
character, bloodlines, and leadership. Dependable, shutdown defender
always thinks defense first and his crease coverage is among the best of
this class - colossal frame and nasty disposition form an impenetrable
barrier between opponents and his goalie. Readily protects teammates and
will drop the gloves. Reads and reacts to plays well at the defensive
end. Effectively closes his man off to the wall and staples him there.
Only has one gear, but shows functional mobility for a big man. Uses
long stick/reach to break up lots of passes. Settles things down when
team gets in trouble in its own end. Difficult to beat in 1-on-1
situations down low in puck battles or off the rush. Has no offensive
upside but avoids costly errors and makes safe, simple plays." "When he plays a physical, nasty, pass-first game,
he's as good as there is. But when he starts to dangle his warts show." |
