Confirmed with Link: Coyotes claim Eric Comrie off waivers from WPG

[_Del_]

I mean, we still have to pay his salary and he's taking up a spot on the 50-man roster, but otherwise, yeah.

and there are only so many games for the young goalies to play in.

 

[YOW]

I think Chayka has time and options and he will see what develops. He has bought himself time.

 

[hbk]

So, Chaka likes Comrie better than Hill, but lets Hill further his development while the same time stunting Comrie's? What team in their right mind would want Raanta until they are satisfied that his injuries are behind him and that he is worth that contract? That could take most of the year.

I can think of several teams that will be interested in a healthy Raanta. Buffalo for one. Carolina another.

Raanta has 1 year after this on his deal. He’s hardly immovable.

Comrie has spent exactly 0 hours with our goalie coach. Let’s let him actually set foot in Arizona before we cry about how we are stunting anyone’s development. This doesn’t have to play out in hours. We have time, contract slots, and salary cap room.

Capfriendly reporting Comrie is finally activated. After Raanta gets some games, I’m thinking we see movement. Kuemper proving himself every game.

He'll go to Tucson. They shipped Kallgren off to Rapid City along with a loaner defenseman. Chayka's in no hurry.

Market for starters is soft, Columbus is probably the only team out there that would be interested in Raanta right now, and they don't have any assets worth trading him early for.

His value is low due to the injury, so you may as well just play him and use him in his intended role, trading one in the summer if it's necessary.

 

[BUX7PHX]

Last thing that is needed is to trade Raanta now. Value has not been really established.

 

[Schemp]

Can they put Comrie in Tucson on a conditioning stint?

He has to agree to it.

Having 2 potentially good goal tenders is a good thing. One of them will not play well or be hurt, lets keep them both for now. We can make a trade in the off season, lets keep our D/goal tending strength in tact.

Exactly...Hill isn't exactly Raanta at the NHL level. The longer we can keep Raanta healthy and producing the larger his stock rises and we can sell at a premium at the deadline or in the off-season.

 

[TheLegend]

He has to agree to it.

Or he agrees to sit in a press box.

Not much choice there.

 

[Jamieh]

Or he agrees to sit in a press box.

Still his choice.

 

[Jakey53]

Still his choice.

Eventually, he will end up in the press box here in Phoenix. All he will be doing is practice with the big boys.

We know nothing. There might be a team waiting to put a claim in on him and his Agent might know it. Practising at home might also be preferred to riding the bus. OR he might welcome the chance to play?? We know nothing.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

We know nothing. [ ] We know nothing.

Words to live by.

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

I'm beginning to think Comrie is hanging out with Manti Te'o's girlfriend.

 

[Schemp]

Or we put him on waivers and he ends up back in Winnipeg as a Moose

If some other team higher on the waiver list doesn’t grab him first.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

If we get Raanta health,I wonder what Toronto would give up for Kuemper. Anderson's getting shelled like a walnut.

For nothing less than Matthews at max retention, I tell you.

And they are not going to do that.

Keumper will not be the guy moved. He's reliably healthy.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

He’s the one with the most trade value.

 

[moosemeister]

He’s the one with the most trade value.

hes also the better player so you don’t trade your best goalie
