Recalled/Assigned: Jets recall Patrice Cormier

[YWGinYYZ]

Strange. Give it time, he's fairly good at faceoffs in the AHL.

Agree: when he was called up previously, he was a wizard in the FO circle. I'm sure he'll turn that part around.

I thought odell looked good with Kane and Seto. had a couple good chances and just barely missed the one (the post).

Cormier i liked as well. Wasn't as strong in the dot but that can easily just be variance/luck. I didn't notice any mistakes and saw 3-4 really "good" plays which is more then i can say about most of fourth liners on any given day.

I thought the last game Corms played here on Weds was the best night I've seen him play in this organization. He was flying that night. I'll take O'dell back before the playoffs but I really do hope that Cormier sticks in the NHL. He's a personally favorite and has really taken a turn for the worst since his JR. days

Yeah, the big thing I liked about Cormier was it looked like he never stopped skating. At all.

How was his foot speed at this level? I find if anything that is his biggest knock

Bad enough that he'll never get above the 4th line, but he's pretty good at face offs and not being a defensive liability. I don't mind him as a 13th-14th forward.

But as long as we have Slater, and he's healthy, I don't see Cormier getting any ice time or call-ups. Basically, as long as Slater is in the line up, Cormier is playing in the AHL. He might want to take a chance somewhere else when his contract is up.

Cormier is RFA. So although his contract is up this year, he is not going anywhere in the off-season unless the Jets want him to. But he did clear waivers this past year. And will have to clear waivers to go down next year. If he appears in 33 more NHL games between now and the end of 2014-15 he will be RFA again next off-season.

Honestly, him and Klingberg are two people I don't see being signed. Just seems like there are both replaceable, suck for Cormier as I want him to succeed, Klingberg is a dime a dozen player so its meaningless to keep him around

I should have said "He might want to take a chance somewhere else when the end of his contract allows him" to be more clear.

I think that if the Jets have no use for Cormier they'll deal him for a guy at a similar stage in his career who is stonewalled in another organization but who is a better fit for the Jets.

I liked Cormier vs. Dallas. He fed Wheeler a beauty pass which allowed him to break in and led to the Toby goal.

I'm only starting to notice now, but Patrice is very good at the art of the saucer pass. He fed Lowry a beauty one for his OT winner last week

Cormier kinda reminds me of a James wright but with hockey sense/talent

Wait till you see him fight. Cormier can throw nukes with his hands. Also, I never knew he was only 23. DOB 1990. That actually 2-3 years younger then I thought he was. Still lots of time for Corm

Thought he looked alright vs dallas, played a safe game, and a nice play to get an assist. didn't get to see yesterday's game.

He's better than Wright. IMO
