Clearly. But I don't think trading a 2nd to get a guy like Tinordi makes sense. He is a perfect pick at 26 or 22, but he is not worth a 1st and a 2nd.

I still expect that when all is said and done, the story on him will still be, "WTF were the Rangers thinking?". But who knows.

He's going to need to start moving the puck and generating some offense before he gets to that level. To me he seems like he might be the good version of Komisarek (that is, the Hab version, not the Leaf version) -- not a bad player to have, but not an impact player either.
If he is going to be Chris Pronger, obviously it's a different matter, but he's shown no real signs of that. Brunet was also pointing out that he was fighting a lot, and that's not really a good sign.
