<p>Welcome to <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/YYC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#YYC</a>, Jarred!</p>
<p>&mdash; Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) <a href="https://twitter.com/NHLFlames/status/1833505717543965183?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 10, 2024</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Tinordi, 32, is a left shot blueliner and the son of longtime NHLer Mark Tinordi. Jarred was originally drafted in the first round, 22nd overall, by the Montreal Canadiens in 2010.</p>
<p>Since then, he may not have lived up to the lofty expectations that some scouts had for him, but he&#8217;s carved out a really good pro career for himself. He&#8217;s played 205 NHL games with Montreal, Arizona, Nashville, Boston, the NY Rangers and Chicago. He&#8217;s also played 429 AHL games with Hamilton, St. John&#8217;s, Tucson, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Milwaukee and Hartford. He served as captain with the OHL&#8217;s London Knights for a season and with the AHL&#8217;s Milwaukee Admirals for two seasons.</p>
<p>Tinordi had nine points in 52 games last season for a downright bad Chicago club, and that&#8217;s actually a career-high for him in NHL games in a single season. If Tinordi&#8217;s in the NHL this season, he&#8217;ll be depth, a third-pairing option that can step in and provide some reliable if unspectacular minutes. If he&#8217;s in the AHL, he&#8217;s a veteran who knows the pro game inside and out and could provide some mentorship for the many, many fresh faces on the roster&#8230; and could step into the leadership role vacated when captain Brett Sutter retired to join the Wranglers coaching staff.</p>
<p>Tinordi isn&#8217;t likely to move the needle a ton offensively, but for a Flames organization in transition that needs some veteran insurance and insulation for its&#8217; young prospects, he could be a really useful signing for the NHL and AHL sides of things.</p>
<p>The Flames have also officially announced the addition of blueliner Tyson Barrie on a pro try-out agreement, originally reported awhile back by Daily Faceoff&#8217;s Frank Seravalli.</p>
