Proposal: Eric Comrie for a 4th round pick

[Jets4Life]

Comrie is never going to ride above a #3 string goalie with the Jets organization. I figure it may be better to trade him at 22, when other clubs may view him as an up and coming 2nd string backup.

Comrie has never proven that he belongs in the NHL and is about average for an AHL goalie. Better to unload him now than to wait until he is 25, and is exiled to Europe with no interest from other clubs.

Lol. Maybe Jets should try playing some D tonight.

Ahhh..the Pavelec excuse.

 

[Adam da bomb]

When they don't play D and Helly is in he at least keeps it close.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

40 plus shots... Jets cant even get a shot on an emergency backup. Pretty much says it all.

 

[Jets4Life]

I think Steve Mason gets much undeserved flank from Jets fans. Sure he started the season on a bad note, but since mid October, he has played well. Hutchinson was lighting up the AHL, and has played well for a backup goalie.

Comrie, on the other hand, was playing second string for the Moose, and has been average in the AHL. In fact, during his three professional seasons, he has not really improved that much. The Moose were a more talented club this year, if you want to argue that his AHL stats have slightly improved. However, he has fumbled the ball at the NHL level. I hope Mason gets healthy soon.

 

[Georgetown Al]

Guess we should of traded Helly last year for a fith then....

Trade Comrie...

Please...

 

[tntkid]

Send Comrie to the AHL until he figures out how to stop a puck.

He is just not ready for the NHL.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

This topic is seriously ridiculous. Jets as a team just got their collective asses handed to them but blame 1 guy? Embarrassing.

 

[snowkiddin]

Comrie has been terrible in nearly all of his NHL appearances, AND he has been getting outplayed by Hutch in the AHL, BUT I don't think it's time to give up on him, ESPECIALLY not for a 4th round pick

 

[Deedog99]

Needs another couple years in the A. That's ok. Jets can wait.

No they can't. Hutch gone mason gone. You pay someone else to take Comries spot as backup goalie may as well move on. If this is a freak season like helly's last season ride it out.

 

[Atoyot]

Bust after 4 games. Trade him for Foster!!

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

We could put him in a package for when we acquire a star player for the team.

 

[jetsforever]

1 bad game means we should ship Comrie off for nothing? We could potentially trade him (although I'd be against that right now) but it's not worth giving up for only a 4th.

Wouldn't judge anything by that gong show in Chicago. I thought only 2 of those goals could be blamed on Comrie. The Jets were really seriously bad in front of him.

Yup. Nearly all of his 4 NHL appearances. Good grief!

 

[snowkiddin]

He's been good in one of the four games. You can't win if your goalie is bad 75% of the time he plays. But, he's young, and that's an extremely small sample size. He needs more to time to develop and get used to playing in the NHL.

 

[snowkiddin]

No they can't. Hutch gone mason gone. You pay someone else to take Comries spot as backup goalie may as well move on. If this is a freak season like helly's last season ride it out.

They can easily sign some journeyman to replace those guys though, and we have Mason next year anyway.

 

[Shazzam]

Really? We're trading Comrie now? Holy over reaction Batman.

 

[ffh]

mrazak was traded for a 4th. we would be lucky to get a 7th for him

This sums it up very well.

No reason to trade him for a 4th round pick what so ever. For a 1st round pick or early 2nd round pick? Go for it.

For late 2nd, 3rd or 4th? Why to bother?

 

[Kamo]

He's 22 and goalies tend to take longer to develop. I'm not sure what exactly he's going to turn into but a 4th round pick is not a good return at all.

 

[raideralex99]

People need to relax.
Did Comrie play bad?
Yes but he's still learning and the only why to get better is by playing in the big league. That goal scored from behind the net reminded me of Helly last year ... not mentally sharp. There is a reason why he's the 4th goalie on the depth chart until he gets more experience you don't know what you have?
With Chevy's track record of drafting players ... why are people getting all worked up over a bad performance.
Should the Jets trade or cut all the players that had a bad game tonight?

This isn't a reaction thread at all.
