Tinordi, 32, joins the Flames after spending last season with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he registered nine points and 64 penalty minutes across 52 games.
Standing at an imposing 6-foot-6 and weighing 230 pounds, he brings plenty of experience and toughness to Calgary’s blue line.
A first-round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2010 NHL Draft (22nd overall), the Millersville, Maryland, native has played over 200 NHL games with a variety of teams, including the Canadiens, Arizona Coyotes, Nashville Predators, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, and Chicago Blackhawks.
Barrie, meanwhile, has spent the past two seasons with the Nashville Predators, recording four goals and 27 points in 65 games.
With over 800 NHL games under his belt, the 33-year-old has suited up for the Colorado Avalanche, Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers and Predators throughout his 14 seasons in the league.
The Flames will kick off their 2024-25 campaign on October 9 with a road game against the Vancouver Canucks.
