Hello Montreal.

Not a surprise

 

[Detroit Knights]

Could have sworn he was good...must be missing something..

I won't be surprised if he turns it around on another team, but I'm totally fine with him being gone. He's got some skill around the net, but he's a liability on ~80% of the ice surface.

Had one promising year but has been downhill since

Ducks moving on is not surprising

Was comtois cleared or still being investigated? Because at the bottom of the article, it says that he and others have came out and said they weren't a part of it?

Haven't been fully following this stuff, sorry about that.

Hello Montreal.

Would be solid 4th liner, but I think he's still tied to the 2018 sexual assault case, so Habs likely pass.

That’s my feeling also, his production drop ties with that story coming out and Ducks giving up on him suggest he may be related also

Exact player the Penguins need to be taking a chance on.

HFBoards ladies and gentlemen...

Def prob worth taking a chance on for a bunch of teams.

He’s been awful in Anaheim last couple years but he has a decent skill set… I think his work ethic is a bit lacking

Hello Montreal.

Got enough bottom six players at the moment.

 

[Jared Dunn]

I still can’t believe that leg stomp from the worlds.

That wasn't him

That was Veleno

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeecause of Zegras...

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

That's why I can't believe it!

 

[Petes2424]

Been out there for awhile. Montreal here comes Comtois!!

He is/was. He fell out of favor with coach Eakins and was a bit lazy. I preferred to keep him around and give him a chance with the new coach.

The lack of work ethic and lack of attention to the finer details, seemed to be the divide between him and the org. He showed promise for awhile but never seemed to understand that he needs to take on the identity of a hardworking, hard-nosed player who can score - vs a low energy offensive minded player. At one point I recall a post game locker room video was posted by the team and most of us on the boards agreed that MC just looked visibly out of shape by NHL standards.

For his sake I hope he finds the right situation, with the right coach/mentor to really help him focus in on his strengths and push him to get after it on the conditioning side. The Ducks have a ton of younger forwards who are hungry to prove themselves and I can see why they just didn't find Comtois to have earned a 2.5M QO.

Ah I see. I saw that someone else said his first year was good then fell off. That is probably why I thought what I did because I thought he was good...just never followed up it seems.

prospect was good. He didn’t pan out.

he’s likely signs in thr low $1Ms somewhere.

 

[HanSolo]

No surprise. Maybe a little surprised Verbeek couldn't recoup any assets in a trade for him since there's the "change of scenery" element but no doubt it's not working out in Anaheim. Instead of progressing he just seems to be gradually regressing all the time.

Yeah that's boilerplate. Everyone said the same thing. I'm still hoping Max wasn't involved or aware but that tweet might as well be toilet paper.

 

[Leonardo87]

Not shocked. Dude got healthy scratched by Eakins who didn't have much accountability. Work ethic concerns, and it's a shame, after that one good season he had a couple years back, New scenery may do him good.
